Three Hundred Aesop's Fables
(George Routledge and Sons, 1867)
Here is a lucky find on eBay -- and cheap! Many of my Routledge Weir editions are dated to 1885 and thereafter. I was thrilled to find an 1867 edition. This seems to be a later printing of that book. All that I wrote ...
The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables.
(American Book Exchange, 1880)
The plates are identical with those in the Arlington Edition by Hurst which I have listed under 1899?, but the pages are thinner and the reproduction of Griset's work is excellent. The Finis page here occurs by mistake ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Frederick Warne and Co., 1866)
One of two very curious books sent together; compare it with The Fables of Aesop from Warne for whose printing date I have guessed the same year. That edition adds fifty fables but no illustrations to the 110 fables here; ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Frederick Warne and Co., 1866)
One of two very curious books sent together; compare it with The Fables of Aesop from Warne in 1866. This edition adds fifty fables but no illustrations to the 110 fables there; it also mentions l'Estrange with Croxall ...
The Fables of Aesop and Others with Designs on Wood
(Methuen & Co., 1818)
Identical in almost all respects with the Appleton edition of the same year. The differences I can find include a slightly different title notation pasted onto the red linen of the spine. And this edition includes a ...
Lyoner Yzopet: Altfranzösische Uebersetzung des XIII. Jahrhunderts
(Verlag von Gebr. Henninger, 1882)
The bookseller's summary includes 8vo, original red cloth, gilt lettering on spine. Pp XLIV, 166. Subtitle: In der Mundart der Franche-Comte - mit dem kritischen Text des lateinischen Originals (Sog. Anonymus Neveleti). ...
Esopus von Burkhard Waldis, Erster Theil
(Verlagsbuchhandlung von J.J. Weber, 1862)
This is a little treasure which I would not have expected to find. For Waldis' original work, see Bodemann's Fabula Docet #15. This edition by Kurz is the one bibliographical work referenced in that item. Cataloguing ...
Esopus von Burkhard Waldis, Zweiter Theil
(Verlagsbuchhandlung von J.J. Weber, 1862)
See my comments on the first part of this two-part work. This second part contains first Book 4. Waldis' own title is Das Vierdte Buch der Fabeln Esopi hat Hundert newer Fabeln (1). This fourth book with its longer ...
Römische Fabeldichter: 2. Bändchen: Aesopische Fabeln des Phädrus
(J.B. Metzlersche Buchhandlung, 1886)
This pamphlet comprises Books 3-5 of Phaedrus. It thus picks up where the translations in Pamphlet 24 B left off. And its pagination picks up at 113, at the very point at which that edition left off. However, this book ...
Phädrus Aesopische Fabeln. Bändchen 1, Abthlg. B, Buch 1, 2
(Metzlersche Buchhandlung, 1880)
This poor little (about 4 x 5¼) pamphlet has suffered. Perhaps some pages are missing, since it starts abruptly in the midst of a sentence of the introduction on 81. However, it finishes on 112 with a translation of the ...
