Esop Basni: Mythoi Aisopeioi
(Jantarniy Skaz, 1999)
"It has been fun digging into this very small (3½" x 4") but sturdy book. Gasparov's translations have already found a place once in this collection, in a 2003 edition by Eksmo with the illustrations of Rackham. Here the ...
Die Fabeln des Äsopus/Fables d'Esope/Favole di Esopo/Fabulae Aesopi II
((Joseph Frister), 1807)
"Here is a real prize! Two volumes each contain 45 Aesopic fables presented in the same format: a full-page (about 5" x 7½") illustration on more substantive paper and then a page each for German, French, Italian, and ...

((Joseph Frister), 1806)

Aesop's Fables
(Cassell & Company Limited,, 1890)
This book is internally identical with the Cassell and Company volume which I have listed under 1893/93? I am no longer certain that 1893 was the original date for this edition. This book is distinguished from that one ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources.
(Syndicate Trading Company, 1884)
This book reproduces almost identically the book published the same year by William Allison Company. It has the same misspelling of Weir's name on the title-page. This book adds R. Worthington under Copyright 1884 on the ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources. Forty-Eighth Thousand.
(John Murray, 1863)
Here I think I have an early copy of Wolf's revision of Tenniel's work. Somewhere I have learned that Tenniel's original 1848 work published by Murray apparently got such a negative response that, before reissuing it (in ...
The Little Esop (miniature)
(Philadelphia: Loomis and Peck. New Haven: Durrie and Peck, 1846)
See my notes on the 1848 edition by the same firms. The two editions seem to be identical. This little book is in very poor condition. Its Ebay advertisement says This sweet lil book has not had an easy life! Someone ...
My First Book of Fables
(Collins, 1949)
This book has some features of each of two other books that are very similar: The Children's Press version of the book by the same title under 1949? and the Collins edition listed under 1950?. The cover of this edition ...
More Fables from Aesop (28C)
(F.A. Owen, 1905)
This is a limp cloth edition and apparently a reissue of the paper-covered edition listed as No. 28 of the Instructor Literature Series by the same publisher in the same year. See my notes there. This booklet does not ...
The Fables of Aesop with a Life of the Author.
(NY: Hurd and Houghton. (Boston: E.P. Dutton and Company.), 1865)
See my comments under the adjacent listing of the blue-covered edition found in Beaverton. This edition has red covers with five animals embossed on the front cover and WL on the spine. The plates seem exactly the same, ...
