Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources
(John Murray, 1867)
Here is a 1912 reprinting of a book I already have listed as the 1911 third edition. Inscribed at Christmas, 1913. See my comments there. This reprinting lacks the advertisements after the index at the back. In a curious ...
Aesop's Fables as Romanized by Phaedrus, with a Literal Interlinear Translation, Accompanied by Illustrative Notes on the Plan Recommended by Mr. Locke
(And Hatchard and Son Piccadilly,Printed for John Taylor, 1828)
See my later printing of this book--the eleventh edition--from 1845. The publisher will change then to Taylor and Walton. For comments see Carnes. The introduction to this literal translation of Phaedrus explains the ...
Aisopeion Mython Synagoge: Fabulae Aesopicae Collectae
(In aedibus B.G. Teubneri, 1884)
Here is a good, clothbound version of Halm's work. It is apparently a later photomechanical printing of the 1884 edition. Teubner's advertisements for Neuerscheinungen pasted in at the rear of the book include several ...
Esopus von Burkhard Waldis, Erster Theil
(Verlagsbuchhandlung von J.J. Weber, 1862)
This is a little treasure which I would not have expected to find. For Waldis' original work, see Bodemann's Fabula Docet #15. This edition by Kurz is the one bibliographical work referenced in that item. Cataloguing ...
Ek Ton Tou Aisopou Mythoi Eklektoi/Nouveau Choix des Fables d'Ésope
(Librairie Classique d'Eugène Belin, 1850)
Here is a schoolbook that has lasted for some years. The preface to the first edition is dated 1824, and this is listed as a Nouvelle Édition. The first two pages of the text, including apparently four fables, are missing, ...
A Selection of Aesop's Fables Versified and Set to Music with Symphonies and Accompaniments for the Piano Forte
(Davidson, Peter's Hill, Doctor's Commons; D. Williams. Lith, 1880)
Rebound in blue cloth boards, this copy is 8¼ x 10¼. The original front and rear covers are present inside the added outer covers. The original front cover contains some lovely work designed by A. Butler. This work ...
Fables d'Ésope, Mises en Français avec le sens moral en quatre vers, Tome Premier
(Chez Leprieur, 1806)
This pair of volumes is curiously not in Bodemann, even though #191 is Le Prieur's apparent companion volume Fables de la Fontaine, with a second edition in 1807. Planudes' life of Aesop takes this first volume up to 144. ...
Römische Fabeldichter: 2. Bändchen: Aesopische Fabeln des Phädrus
(J.B. Metzlersche Buchhandlung, 1886)
This pamphlet comprises Books 3-5 of Phaedrus. It thus picks up where the translations in Pamphlet 24 B left off. And its pagination picks up at 113, at the very point at which that edition left off. However, this book ...
Phädrus Aesopische Fabeln. Bändchen 1, Abthlg. B, Buch 1, 2
(Metzlersche Buchhandlung, 1880)
This poor little (about 4 x 5¼) pamphlet has suffered. Perhaps some pages are missing, since it starts abruptly in the midst of a sentence of the introduction on 81. However, it finishes on 112 with a translation of the ...
Esopus von Burkhard Waldis, Zweiter Theil
(Verlagsbuchhandlung von J.J. Weber, 1862)
See my comments on the first part of this two-part work. This second part contains first Book 4. Waldis' own title is Das Vierdte Buch der Fabeln Esopi hat Hundert newer Fabeln (1). This fourth book with its longer ...
