A Novel Journal: Aesop's Fables
(Peter Norton: Printers Row Publishing Group, 2016)
"Here is a first! This is indeed a journal for writing one's thoughts and experiences. The tiny lines in the journal are Aesop's fables. As an advertising slip proclaims, "The journal lines are the novel (in teeny, tiny ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from Original Sources
(Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott and Co./London: John Murray, 1869)
This book is nearly identical with that from John Murray that I have listed under 1867/74. See my comments there. This edition places the list of illustrations where its page numbers should locate it rather than before ...
Aesopi Phrygis Fabulae Elegantissimis iconibus veras animalium species ad viuum adumbrantibus
(Apud Ioan. Tornaesiumapud Ioannem Tornaesium, 1551)
This little book is an earlier edition of what had long been the oldest book in the collection, listed under 1619? This book is Bodemann #29. What a great thing! Bodemann's twenty-ninth oldest book! See my description ...
Historia Vitae Fortunaeque Aesopi, cum Fabulis Illius
(Ex Officina Recente Valentini Papae, 1544)
First, this little book has caused me as much anguish as any I have tried to win for the collection. For over three years I have been looking for it, thinking it lost. I presumed as a last hope that the book had got in ...
Aesop's Fables (Armenian)
("Nerashkharh" SPĚPublishing House Nerashkharh, 2010)
According to an eBay seller, the booklet was published in a very limited edition. To guess from the format of other typical books of Aesop's fables, there is some introductory material about Greece and the life of Aesop, ...
Aesop's Fables for Children
(Dover Publications, 2008)
Now here is a surprise. Dover took its fine book and changed it ever so slightly without changing any of the information on the verso of the title-page. What does get changed there is the format of their Green Edition ...
Aesop's Fables (with 30 colour plates and 18 sepia illustrations)
(Ward, Lock and Co., Ltd., 1924)
This book sits precisely between two others I had already found. Both are listed under the same date. One has thirty illustrations and the other forty-eight. Let me mention then which of the two this book resembles on ...
Aesop's Fables (with 24 colour plates)
(Ward Lock & Co.,, 1924)
It is hard to believe, but this is the third distinct book I have found now in the Sunshine Series by Ward and Lock. The other two have, respectively, sixteen colored plates and sixteen colored plates plus eight sepia ...
Aesop's Fables Embellished with One Hundred and Eleven Emblematical Devices
(Printed at the Chiswick Press by C. Whittingham for J. Carpenter J. Booker, Sharpe and Hailes, and J. Carr,, 1813)
This is a curious find. At first it seems very similar to two smaller books, published in 1839 and 1841, with which it shares the words emblematical devices and a title-page illustration of a man seated in the countryside ...
Fabulae Aesopicae ad Optimorum Librorum Fidem Accurate Editae
(Sumtibus et Typis C. TauchnitiiSumtibus et typis Caroli Tauchnitii, 1829)
This is a classic text as many classicists would like it most: nothing but the Greek text of 423 Greek-titled fables on 190 small pages (4 x 5½). Since this edition occurs after Schneider's publication of the Augustana ...
