Bemerkung:

Mit Widmung des Übersetzers an Joschka Fischer.- The Fables of Kalilah and Dimnah were written in Arabic by Ibn al-Muqaffa' in the middle of the eighth century AD. The tales were originally Sanskrit and then translated into Middle Persian. The work of Ibn al-Muqaffa' quickly achieved a popularity which has been maintained until the present day and his style has become one of the benchmarks of classical Arabic literature. Such was the popularity of the tales that they were translated and transposed into many different languages and later became a source of inspiration for European writers such as La Fontaine.
