Les Subtiles Fables D'Esope, Lyon Mathieu Husz, 1486
(Association Guillaume le Roy, Lyon/Charles Eggimann, ParisC. Eggimann seul dépositaire,, 1926)
Here is an unusual piece of work. It is unstitched as issued and mostly unopened. Its paper covers are torn at the spine. After the colored frontispiece (from a 13th-century Lyon Isopet manuscript), there are 208 ...
Ezop & Hollar: Bajky z Ezopovych Fabuli a Brantovych Rospravek Jana Albina ze Sborniku Prostejovskeho Z R. 1557
(Nase VojskoNaše vojsko, 1957)
What a rich collection of images! Organized apparently in three books of Aesop according to Romulus, each containing 20 fables, then 19 new fables, and finally 28 fables attributed to three sources that I cannot make out. ...
Aisopou Mythoi
(Ekdoseis StratikeStratikē, 2000)
Here are thirty-six fables, each receiving a two-page spread, in a large-format polychromatic book. I recognized the work of Sergio Cavina, but am not sure of the ancestry of this volume. At least some illustrations are ...
Aesop's Fables
(Galley Press, W.H. Smith & Son Limited, 1978)
Here is a very curious book, marked by the cover of a lion reading a fable book in the presence of other animals and a title-page wordless fable of two mules and two piles of fodder. The first curiosity is that I had not ...
The Book of Fables Chiefly from Aesop
(Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company/Cambridge: The Riverside Press, 1882)
I must stop buying this book! I bought this one on a hurried trip through the airport because it is in such excellent condition. See my comments on the various other printings of this book. Stedman's Victorian Poets is ...
Masterpieces: Pope, Aesop, Milton, Coleridge, and Goldsmith.
(Fowler & Wells Co., 1889)
A wild find nowhere near where fables might usually show up in this store. The second section of this five-part book is almost identical with the 1870 and 1873 booklets Aesop's Fables Illustrated. The only difference I ...
The Fables of Aesop as first printed by William Caxton in 1484 Volume I
(David Nutt, 1889)
I had noted this book sitting on Midway's shelf for years. I once recommended it to the Heffelfinger collection in Minneapolis. I never realized that it was Joseph Jacobs' own copy. I am now especially delighted to add ...
Aesopi Phrygis et Aliorum Fabulae
(Dominici LouisaeSumptibus Dominici Lovisae, 1780)
This little book belongs with three others in the collection, all with the same title and all by different publishers. They are listed under 1757? and 1777 and 1781. The publishers are Johannis Antonii Remondini in ...
The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables.
(Hurst & Co. Publishers,, 1899)
After 140 pages of Aesop, there are Later Fables in the last 100 pages of the book. Compare the two copies to see how much more clearly Griset's work emerges in the blue-covered volume. Good AI. The Stutzman copy ...
Three Hundred Aesop's Fables and One Hundred Picture Fables
(Donohue, HenneberryGeorge Routledge & Sons Ltd.,, 1885)
A strange combination of two books bound together. The Three Hundred portion is identical with my Routledge 1885?/1904 edition; both have 114 illustrations, though that one has different full-page illustrations. Townsend ...
