Fabulas de Mr. Florian Traducidas Libremente al Castellano por Don Gaspar Zavala y Zamora y Adornadas con 52 Estampas Finas
(Don Luciano Vallin, 1809)
The first thing one notices about this charming old book is the heavy presence of wormholes. Pages 21-28 are lost, including the five interpaginated, full-page plates that go with them. Though the fables here are divided ...
A Selection of Fables from Florian and Other Authors
(J. Hatchard and Son 187 Picadilly,, 1837)
It is rare to find Florian translated into English. In this small (3½ x 5½) pamphlet one finds twelve from Florian, three from Dodsley, and three Scraps from a Portfolio. Most of Florian's twelve are in my collections ...
Fables de Florian, Nouvelle Édition, revue, corrigée et suivie de Tobie et de Ruth
(L.F. Hivert, LibraireLibrairie Classique de Mme Ve Maire-Nyon, 1838)
This little book, 3½ x 5½, contains all 110 of Florian's fables. I would not have thought that Florian's fable corpus could fit into such a small volume. It has a once-beautiful leather binding that is significantly eaten ...
Florian's Fables Book V
(E. Ponsonby et al, 1894)
Here is a handy little volume that could be a distinct help the next time I work with Florian. There are 34 pages of texts and commentary, followed by an unpaginated 36-page vocabulary. The notes beginning on 24 are ...
Oeuvres de Florian: Les Fables
(Edité spécialement pour les Magasins du Bon MarchéP. Brodard, 1890)
I do not have a complete set of the Grandville illustrations for Florian's 110 poems. In the meantime, the selection here is fine, and the printing is fair. It is nice to encounter illustrations I have already enjoyed ...
Fables Choisies de J.-P. Claris de Florian, Premiere Série
(Librairie Marpon & Flammarion, 1896)
Bodemann 375.2. The friendly people at Ripping Yarns found this pair of volumes while I was off getting money for the great things I had already found. They were not sure that I would want it, and they were also not sure ...

Fables Choisies de J.-P. Claris de Florian, Premiere & Deuxième Série
(Librairie Marpon & Flammarion, 1896)
Bodemann 375.2. These two volumes bound together seem to belong to this second listing of Bodemann's (and not to 375.1) because the size fits (20 x 15 cm.), but not all of her description seems to fit. This is another ...
Les Fables de Florian. 8me Série
(Imagerie d'Epinal Pellerin & Cie,Imagerie d'Épinal: Pellerin & Cie., 1870)
Here is a 48-page pamphlet in good condition. The cover shows The Rabbit and the Teal. The title-page has a black-and-white design of a kangaroo. The text itself then offers fifteen handcolored plates. They are only ...
Fables de Florian
(Librairie Théodore Lefèvre et Émile GuérinLibrairie de Thèodore Lefévre Émile Guérin, 1890)
This seems to me to be a smaller later edition of what is described in Bodemann #355.1. The engravings here are frequent and helpful for understanding what is going on in Florian's fables. There is an illustration about ...
