The Latin version was translated into Italian by in 1552. This translation became the basis for the first English translation, in 1570: Sir Thomas North translated it into Elizabethan English as "The Fables of Bidpai: The Morall Philosophie of Doni" (reprinted by Joseph Jacobs, 1888). La Fontaine published "The Fables of Bidpai" in 1679, based on "the Indian sage Pilpay".
George Puttenham was one of the first Pastoral theorists.

It is worth noting that the opening of Henryson's Prolog to the "Morall Fabillis" echoes the opening lines of John Barbour's "Brus".

The strong likelihood that Henryson employed Christian numerology in composing his works has been increasingly discussed in recent years. Use of number for compositional control was common in medieval poetics and could be intended to have religious symbolism, and features in the accepted text of the "Morall Fabilliis" indicate that this was elaborately applied in that poem.
