Syntipas

 

Who was Syntipas? Thanks to Ben Perry's Aesopica, Syntipas is probably best known today as the author of a set of Aesop's fables in Greek. The name is a pseudonym, something like the name "Aesop" itself. In addition to being credited with this set of fables, Syntipas is also credited with the Greek version of a collection of stories known as The Seven Sages (often called the "Dolopathos" in the western tradition, after the name of the protagonist in a famous Latin version of the text).

 

And just who was the author of these fables? That would be Michael Andreopoulos, a Byzantine scholar of the eleventh century, who translated these stories from Syriac into Greek.  Most of them are familiar fables, attested elsewhere in the Greek tradition, but approximately one fourth of the total are fables not elsewhere attested in the written tradition, except in this collection and its derivatives.

 

The Latin translations here are from a Greek-Latin edition of Syntipas available at GoogleBooks, which was originally published in 1781! Euge GoogleBooks!
