Esopus von Burkhard Waldis, Zweiter Theil
(Verlagsbuchhandlung von J.J. Weber, 1862)
See my comments on the first part of this two-part work. This second part contains first Book 4. Waldis' own title is Das Vierdte Buch der Fabeln Esopi hat Hundert newer Fabeln (1). This fourth book with its longer ...
Römische Fabeldichter: 2. Bändchen: Aesopische Fabeln des Phädrus
(J.B. Metzlersche Buchhandlung, 1886)
This pamphlet comprises Books 3-5 of Phaedrus. It thus picks up where the translations in Pamphlet 24 B left off. And its pagination picks up at 113, at the very point at which that edition left off. However, this book ...
Phädrus Aesopische Fabeln. Bändchen 1, Abthlg. B, Buch 1, 2
(Metzlersche Buchhandlung, 1880)
This poor little (about 4 x 5¼) pamphlet has suffered. Perhaps some pages are missing, since it starts abruptly in the midst of a sentence of the introduction on 81. However, it finishes on 112 with a translation of the ...
Aesop's Fables
(Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd.,, 1914)
I already have one copy of this lovely book, purchased from Yesterday's Memories in April, 1987. This copy, bought in 2000, has a 1914 inscription at its front and advertisements at the end of the book. Several of its ...
Aesop's Fables
(Raphael Tuck & Sons LTD.,, 1912)
I already have two copies of Vredenburg and Noble's work published by Raphael Tuck and Sons. But this book in poor condition brings new information and has a different cover. The information upsets what I had taken as ...
A Sip of Aesop
(Scholastic Inc.,, 1995)
Here is a later version of a book I found at Powell's in July, 2000. Though it still has First Scholastic Trade paperback printing, August, 2000 on the verso of its title-page, both sets of numbers just above that show ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Version Chiefly from the Original Sources
(John Murray, 1867)
Here is a 1912 reprinting of a book I already have listed as the 1911 third edition. Inscribed at Christmas, 1913. See my comments there. This reprinting lacks the advertisements after the index at the back. In a curious ...
Aesop's Fables
(Pearson Education Limited: Longman, 1998)
The cover illustration for this little (5¾ x 8) 48-page pamphlet is simply superb. A wolf in bursting sheep's clothing lies napping contentedly in the pen with a meaty leg on a plate next to him. There is even a jar of ...
The Fables of Aesop
(Peter Lowe: Eurobook Limited, 1995)
Here is a large-format (9 x 11½) book I would describe as like a recent British Milo Winter. It offers some 108 classic fables with 72 new illustrations, all in colour, as the back cover proclaims. The illustrations, in ...
Fábulas de Esopo Reproducción en facsímile de la primera edición de 1489
(Real Academia EspanolaTipografia de archivos, 1489)
Palau calls this tall paperbound folio a magnífica reproducción facsímile (81959). The editors seem not to know of the Toulouse edition of 1488; see my Esopete Ystoriado (Toulouse 1488), published in 1990. Nor do they ...
