Phaedri Aug. Liberti Fabularum Aesopiarum Livri V et Novarum Fabularum Appendix
(Apud Sam. Et Joh. Luchtmans, 1765)
This little book is somewhat remarkable for allocating 98 pages for the texts of Phaedrus and then adding an index that is almost as long! There are no comments in this book. There are only a three-page T of C, the ...

Phaedri Augusti Liberti Fabularum Libri V, Accesserunt Parallelae Joannis de la Fontaine Fabulae
(Joseph Barbou, 1783)
Bodemann #127.3. The note there shows that this is a reprinting of a work first done by Barbou in 1754, but that the works of La Fontaine and the work of Brotier have been added. This is a small book, about 3½ x 6¼. ...
