Aesop's Fables
(Platt & Nourse Co., 1913)
The curious history of this book goes on even further than I had thought! Platt had three different partners in a fairly short time: Peck in 1913, Nourse after that, with Munk apparently still later. This copy lacks the ...
Fabeln des Äsop Nach Steinhöwels Erneuertem Esopus
(Graphische Kunstdruckerei Gebr. FeylGrapische Kunstdruckerei Gebrüder Feyl, 1938)
The texts here come from an Insel publication, perhaps published in or about 1933. Insel's own book then used illustrations after those of Vergil Solis. Here we have instead Wassili Masjutin's excellent woodcuts: WC (5); ...
Skeealyn Aesop: A Selection of Aesop's Fables
(S.K. Broadbent/Kessinger Publishing, 1901)
This book reprints a book of bilingual fables along with poems by Edward Farquhar of Cregneish. There is nothing in this book that was not in the original, I believe, except for three things: the covers with their simple ...
The Fables of Aesop Adapted to the Hamiltonian System, By an Analytical and Interlineal Translation
(W. Aylott & Co., 1850)
For the Use of Schools and Private Learners. Here is yet another interlinear presentation of Aesop. A Google search revealed a Gospel of St. John published in the 1830's according to the Hamiltonian system along with ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Three Sirens Press on spine. NY: De Luxe Editions: Illustrated Editions Co, 1857)
I cannot get over the plethora of 1931 and 1931/33 Bennett editions! This one is identical with my 1857/1931/33 editions except for two features: both cover materials are different, this one featuring green felt and woven ...
Aesop's Fables in Words of One Syllable.
(Hurst & Company, 1890)
I have spent lots of time with this curious, overpriced book. Its cover presents several good Aesopic images. Its text plates, including T of C, ninety-nine fables, and their pagination, are identical with those in the ...
Fables of Aesop
(Penguin Books, 1954)
This is the only hardbound Penguin edition that I think I have ever seen! It looks from several indications as though it were printed for some country in Asia. It has some Oriental (?) characters on the verso of the ...
Select Fables of Esop and Other Fabulists in Three Books
(F.C. & J. Rivington; Wilkie & Robinson; et alPrinted for F.C. & J. Rivington, 1812)
This little book with a deteriorating calf spine and a separated calf front cover fits nicely among the Dodsley editions I already have. It seems that the earliest editions from the first in 1761 up to about 1777 favored ...
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 ...
Esops Fabler
(J.W. Eides Forlag, 1951)
Here is a book of wonderful art, lovingly produced! The color work is excellent. Among the best are these: The Fox and Goat (15); The Bear and Bees (16); OR (29); WL (34); TB (51), BF (56-57); and MSA (66-67). The ...
