Fables de La Fontaine: Tome Premier. Avec les figures d'Oudry dans l'édition Desaint et Saillant de 1755
(Jean de Bonnot, 1755)
Back in 1988 in Paris I had found the knockoff version of this first volume along the Seine. Now I am delighted to have found the whole set. If there is a drawback to this exquisite set of volumes, it lies in their size: ...
Aesopi Phrygis et Aliorum Fabulae
(Typis Bartholommei Occhi, 1777)
I was surprised upon examination of this book to find that it reproduced the Remondini of 1757 that I had found nine months earlier in Turin. Both the title-page wording and the T of C wording are exactly the same, though ...

(Jean de Bonnot, 1755)
See my comments on the first volume. My favorites on this trip through are CXXXV, Le Curé et le Mort; CXLVIII, Les Femmes et le Secret, in which even the child is telling a secret to the dog!; CLXV, La Torrent et la ...
Fables de La Fontaine: Tome Quatrième. Avec les figures d'Oudry dans l'édition Desaint et Saillant de 1755

Les Plus Belles Fables Morales de Phedre et de Philelphe; Des Phaedri und Philelphi angenehmste Sinn- und Lehr-reiche Fabeln
(Christian Herold, 1750)
This book is a separate later printing by another publisher of a part of the edition I have titled Esope en belle humeur ou l'elite de ses fables enrichies de figures/Esopus bey der Lust by Johann Christoph Kißner in 1729, ...
Fables Choisies mises en Vers par M. de La Fontaine
(Fr.. Amb. Didot l'Ainé, 1787)
I am having difficulty locating this lovely book in Bodemann. The two parts are bound together here, and pagination starts over for the second part. Each fable has a fine small engraving about 2½ x 2. I consider this ...
Fables and Tales from La Fontaine in French and English Now First Translated, To which is prefix'd the Author's Life
(Printed for A. Bettsworth and C. Hitch and C. Davis, 1734)
I quote from my favorite private collector (F-0405, with a duplicate C-159): An attractive edition with the text in French and English on facing pages. Not illustrated, but decorated throughout with a great variety of ...
Francisci-Josephi Desbillons e Societate Jesu Fabularum Aesopiarum Libri Decem Diligenter Emendati post Editionem Tertiam Parisinam Quam Solam Auctor Agnoscit
(Augustae Vind. Et Friburgi Brisg. Sumptibus Fratrum Ign. Et Ant. Wagner, 1776)
Here is a fascinating edition. It reproduces the third edition from Paris, which I have under 1759. It has thus ten books of fables. There are several surprises here. First, the Society had already been suppressed ...
Aesopi Phrygis Fabulae Nunc demum ex Collatione Optimorum Exemplarium ab infinitis pene Mendis repurgatae una cum nonnullis Variorum Autorum Fabulis adjectis et indice correctiori praefixo
(Typis T. Wood, Impensis Societatis Stationariorum, 1732)
This is a strange little (3½ x 5½) volume to come from England. It follows the structure of many of the earliest little fable editions, beginning with a six-page life of Aesop excerpted or digested from that of Planudes, ...
