The Fables of Aesop Paraphras'd in Verse
(William Andrews Clark Memorial Library University of California,William Andrews Clark Memorial Library: UCLA, 1668)
The versions here are longish and filled with topical references. The illustrations are quite faint. Several put another fable's picture in the background. The best illustrations for me might be The Head and the Members ...
Aesopi Phrygis Fabulae

Vita Di Esopo Frigio, Prudente, & Facetto Favelatore
(Per Il Cestari, 1664)
Here is a great little addition to the collection. It most closely approximates Bodemann #52.3 but was published nine years earlier. The publisher there is listed as Erben des Giovanni Baptista Cestari, with a publication ...

(Chez Iean & David BerthelinChez Jean & David Berthelin, 1660)
Fabula Docet lists three Baudoin editions in its catalogue (#12, 17, 123). Baudoin's first edition in 1631 in Paris contained only 117 Aesopic fables, reportedly translated by Pierre Boissat. With the ethical and political ...
Fables d'Esope en Quatraines dont Il y en a une Partie au Labyrinthe de Versailles

One learns from Wikipedia that André Le Nôtre initially planned a maze of unadorned paths in 1665, but in 1669, Charles Perrault advised Louis XIV to include thirty-nine hydraulic fountains each representing one of the ...
Labyrinte de Versailles 1677
(Editions du Moniteur, 1677)
