Excerpt from A Comparative Study of the Aesopic Fable in Nicole Bozon: A Dissertation Submitted to the Board of University Studies of the Johns Hopkins University in Conformity With the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
To determine the exact relations existing among the fables of the various fable collections is, in most cases, extremely difficult, owing to the complexity of the problem presented to the investigator. Each fable must be carefully compared with the corresponding fables in other collections in order to ascertain the relationship, if any, which exists among them. To do this it is necessary to take up each separate motif, and make it the subject of a comparative study. Thus, it is only by a careful comparison of the fables of Bozon with the corresponding versions found in the various fable collections that any true light can be thrown on the sources of the fables cited here and there in his work.
