Boner

Boner, Ulrich, a German fabulist and Dominican monk, who lived at Berne in the 14th century. Not very much is known of his life; but he left behind him a collection of fables called Der Edelstein (The Jewel), the first edition of which was published in folio at Bamberg in 1461. Only two copies of this are known to exist, one of them being in the library at Wolfenbuttel. There is a good edition, with glossary (Berlin, 1816), and there is an edition of 1844.
