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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Fables de Florian. Églogues et Contes en Vers
(Librairie pittoresque de la jenunesseLibrairie pittoresque de la jeunesse, 1852)
The title goes on: Ruth, Tobie, Le Chien d'Espagne, Le Chien de Chasse. I am delighted to see Wolfgang Metzner agree with my impression that the fable illustrations here often imitate Grandville (Bodemann, #321,1). His ...
Fables de Florian
(P. Rouquette, Éditeur, 1882)
This is a fine little (4¼ x 6?) book of Florian's fables with a lovely binding of leather and marbled boards. Its special quality is its illustrations (about 2¼ x 1½) in three states, separated by slipsheets. The ...
Fables de Florian
(Ernst Fleischer, 1835)
Perhaps the best feature of this book is the extensive French-German dictionary, including both difficult words and idioms. It is on 137-194. Otherwise it is a straightforward presentation of six books of fables, with ...
Fables de Florian suivie d'un Choix de Fables de nos meilleurs Fabulistes
(Librairie de l'Enfance et de la Jeunesse, P.-C. Lehuby, 1870)
The standard five books of fables by Florian--illustrated with the twenty engravings of Bouchot's work--are followed here by one or more fables by about thirty-five other French authors without illustration. This is a ...
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 ...
