This essay presents Sperone Speroni’s fables, inspired by the classical model of Aesop and first printed only in 1740. In addition to analyzing Speroni’s texts, this study aims to situate the philosopher’s interest in fables within the cultural horizon of his time, ultimately reflecting on the role attributed to this literary genre. The article is based on an examination of Speroni’s manuscript materials – some of which are autograph – preserved in the Biblioteca Capitolare di Padova.
