C'era una Volta. Esopo-Perrault.
(Arnoldo Mondadori, 1986)
A big book in every way! There are six thematic groups of between seven and fourteen stories each, every group starting with one Perrault story and finishing with the rest from Aesop. The introduction speaks of offering ...
Fables and Satires, With a Preface on the Esopean Fable
(Archibald Constable and Co.Constable Hunter, Park, and Hunter,, 1809)
My first volumes by a baronet! Leather binding and cover-edges. Marbled covers and page edges. Excellent condition. The preface begins with a bold self-advertisement of this attempt to present [Esopean fable] in a less ...
Fables and Satires, With a Preface on the Esopean Fable
(Archibald Constable and Co., 1809)
There are three sections here, before four satires and notes (211) on both volumes. Beware: Volume the Second is placed by mistake in the midst of notes on the first volume (233). New to me in the first section, a ...
Twenty Four Fables of Aesop and other Eminent Mythologists.
(Ernest Benn, 1928)
Identical after the title page with the Dutton edition printed in England (1928?). Most of the illustrations are taken from Gheeraerts' edition from Bruges of 1567 (the three others are from Gheeraerts' work published in ...
Select Fables of Esop and Other Fabulists in Three Books. Ancient, Modern, and Original
(S. Fisher, 1802)
According to Bodemann, the text makeup of this book is the same as in the origianal 1761 edition with the exception of A New Life of Aesop. Osborne and Mozley in London had apparently issued a new edition in 1800, and ...
Fables of Aesop and Others. Newly done into English. With an Application to each Fable. Illustrated with Cutts.
(Printed for J. Tonson and J. WattsPrinted for J. Tonson at Shakespear's Head in the Strand, and J. Watts at the Printing Office in Wild-Court, near Lincolns-Inn Fields, 1722)
At last I have arrived at a first edition of Croxall! And it is a good copy. Bodemann #107.1. Croxall is first mentioned at the end of the dedication to Halifax. At the beginning, what is labeled The Contents of the ...
Aesopi Phrygis et Aliorum Fabulae
(Vincentius Laurentii, 1781)
This tight little book is squarely in the tradition of the other books of the same title that I have listed under 1767? and 1777. This volume is missing 99-118. By comparison with the latter, the title-page here has ...
Aesop in Rhyme, with Some Originals With an engraving to each fable
(Printed for Baldwin and Cradock, 1821)
Bodemann #241.1 lists the first edition of this work in 1820. The frontispiece in both my 1823 and 1828 editions gives a date of 1821. Whereas the second edition in 1823 lists itself as The Second Edition, Corrected, ...
Aesop in Rhyme, or Old Friends in a New Dress
(Philadelphia: C.G. Henderson & Co./NY: D. Appleton & Co., 1854)
This little book rewards some study. The first fables, through 78, repeat verbatim the texts of Jefferys Taylor in his 1821 Aesop in Rhyme, with Some Originals. From what I can tell, later stories in this book that repeat ...
The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables, Complete, with text based upon Croxall, La Fontaine and L'Estrange. With Copious Additions from other Modern Authors
(Hurst & Co., 1890)
This book is like two others that I have. Its contents are very much like those in the Arlington Edition put out by Hurst and listed under 1899? There is no indication of an Arlington Edition here. It is exactly like a ...
