Sources for Perry's index and also for Adrados's

The article cites Perry's Index, also mention one by Adrado. But it does not give the sources where we can find these. I hope some editor knows how to find the bibliographical information for finding these two index. Pete unseth (talk) 18:16, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this would be great.

The very first revision of this page seems to be derived from this page at mythfolklore.net instead of Perry's book. It even contains the same typo I just fixed:

Perry 545. Aesop and the his Mistress.

The mythfolklore.net page does give a useful clue to the ultimate source: it's the Appendix of Perry's Babrius and Phaedras (1965). I've found a copy of this and I'll cross-check the fable names against that instead. Llude (talk) 16:34, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
