Kalila wa Dimna (Arabic)
(Dar al-Kotob al-IlmiyahDār al-Kutub al-ʻIlmīyah, 1991)
This must be my first book published by a firm in Lebanon. The cover shows a beautiful diamond of animals at peace with one another. Inside there is nothing but text. There seems to be a T of C at the end, which is of ...

(Editions Chagor, 1946)
This oversized canvas-bound children's book of colorable pictures is in keeping with the two Belgian books titled Fables Choisies and dated 1946? The illustrations are those found there. Here the pictures are all signed ...
More Eton Fables
(Longmans Green and Co., Ltd.,, 1927)
See my comments on Eton Fables in 1921, bought at the same time and in the same bookstore. The common factor in these homilies is the movement from something concrete and particular, whether it is a tree or a story or an ...
Eton Fables
(Longmans, Green and Co., 1921)

(Braun & Schneider, 1905)
See my comments on the second printing of this second volume in the series. This copy differs from that one otherwise only in the cover. There the cover was textured like cloth and darker. Here it is a lighter color and ...
Im Spiegel der Tierwelt: Studien von Käthe Olshausen-Schönberger, Siebente Auflage
(Braun & Schneider, 1905)
See my comments on the apparent first printing listed under 1905? I see three differences in this book. The cover's boards are lighter both in texture and in color. The inside pages are thinner. Above all, each page ...
