LatinViaFables.com: I'm continuing to work my way through the 15th-century Latin fables of Abstemius! With each fable I'm posting the Latin text, a segmented Latin text, along with an English translation by me, plus the rollicking 17th-century translation by Sir Roger L'Estrange. Today's fable is De Vidua virum petente: The Widow Seeking a Husband,. This is a quite funny fable, definitely for adults - and you need to read the Latin since L'Estrange is a bit evasive in his translation!
