Aisopeia
(Uitg. ElectaUitgeverij Electa, 1950)
The bulk of this book is a set of 150 Aesopic fables done into Dutch verse. The fables are divided into these subsets: stories from mythology, animals (alone or with people), humans (alone or with gods), nature, and ...
Esopo: Favole
(Rizzoli, 1951)
A nice source. Do not miss the index of illustrations at the back. The text seems to be exactly the same as Hausrath and Perry.
Aesopica Vol. 1: Greek & Latin Texts
(Arno Press, 1952)
The standard work for textual comparison. It is hard to know if it is worth $75, but at least the Arno Press version has the complete original.
Zehn Fabeln des Aesop
(Folkwang-OffizinFolkwang-Werkkunstschule, 1954)
Each of the ten fables here has one, two, or three small woodcuts colored in green and black. Most are about 2 square. The best of them include TB, FC, and Fabel vom Pfau und der Göttin. Pferd, Rind, Hund und Mensch has ...
Mythoi Tou Aisopou (Aesop's Fables)
(D.C. Divry, 1950)
The Greek makes for fun reading, and the verse morals are cute, but I am afraid there is not much here more than evidence that Greeks still relish the stories (and that they are good for teaching!). The illustrations are ...
Fabeln des Äsop
(Hermann Kuhn KG.s.n.], 1954)
I am including a second copy of this book because I have found a copy dedicated by the artist. The other copy, #455 of 500, is identical and has Gothein's signature with the number at the book's end. This copy, #285 of ...
Fables of Aesop
(Penguin, 1954)
This paperback from Clare Leeper presents a transition between two copies of the Penguin paperback I already had. The simplest way to find the chain of changes is to watch the new retail price marked on the book. My ...
Aesop's Fables
(Brigitte Hanf, 1956)
Now here is a find! Only six copies were printed! The illustration style is indeed unusual as one can see well in the illustration for the first fable, CJ. Hanf's moral cleverly points to Midas surrounded by precious ...
Fabeln des Äsop
(Hermann Kuhn KG.s.n.], 1954)
I am surprised that I had not known of this book earlier. It presents thirty Aesopic fables in prose, each on a left-hand numbered page with a design on the facing right page. The pages are made of very heavy paper, and ...
Aesop's Fables To Read and To Color
(Capitol Publishing Company Inc.,, 1952)
A small, almost-square pamphlet that Jim Ciletti was good enough to take from five non-fable mates. The grasshopper realizes his mistake before the ant has a chance to say anything! Fourteen fables and a last page on how ...
