The Fables of Florian
(John B. Alden, 1888)
T of C at the beginning. Fifty-one fables, preceded by a useful introduction to Florian (1755-94). Two Travellers (14) is often presented as Aesopic. Grandville's illustrations are always wonderful. One of the best ...
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
(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 ...

(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 ...
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. 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, 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: Fables, Précédées d'une Étude sur la Fable, Suivies de Tobie et de Ruth et Accompagnées de Notes
(Librairie Hachette et Cie, 1881)
I am surprised to learn that this handy little volume is my first Hachette copy of Florian. The five books of fables seem to be all there on this book's 140 pages, with an AI at the back and a few simple designs along the way.
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 ...
