Les Fables de La Fontaine
(Éditions de la Fontaine au Roi, 1988)
"Here is a good showcasing of both Doré and La Fontaine, whom the back cover of the dust jacket here calls "la suprème manifestation du génie français." "Texte integral" is on the dust jacket and title page. The reproductions ...
Fábulas de los mejores autores
(Éditiorial Andina, 1973)
"While the title page adds "de los mejores autores," the page before adds " Una rigurosa colección de las mas famosas fábulas" as a subtitle. The most surprising thing about this paperback book is the selection of fabulists ...
Zhitiye Spavnioho Basnotvorca Esopa/Vitae Aesopi Versio Russica
(Cimelia Bohemica, 1968)
"I realized after spending extensive time with this publication and then cataloguing it that I already have a copy, purchased for just $8 in 2001. Because of the unusual character of the publication -- and because there ...
Die Fabeln des Äsopus/Fables d'Esope/Favole di Esopo/Fabulae Aesopi II
((Joseph Frister), 1807)

Aesop's Fables
(Cassell & Company Limited,, 1890)
This book is internally identical with the Cassell and Company volume which I have listed under 1893/93? I am no longer certain that 1893 was the original date for this edition. This book is distinguished from that one ...
Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources.
(Syndicate Trading Company, 1884)
This book reproduces almost identically the book published the same year by William Allison Company. It has the same misspelling of Weir's name on the title-page. This book adds R. Worthington under Copyright 1884 on the ...
Fables by John Gay with a Life of the Author, and embellished with Seventy Plates, Vol. I
(John Stockdale, 1793)
Ah, I have made my way back to a Stockdale 1793 edition of Gay's fables! Bodemann 110.10, Fabula Docet #99. I had worked earlier with the Rivington imitation of the same year (Hobbs #24), and it is a pleasure now to see ...
Fabulae Aesopi Selectae, or Select Fables of Aesop With an English Translation, more Literal than any yet extant, Designed for the Readier Instruction of Beginners in the Latin Tongue
(Printed by Samuel Hall, 1787)
These books reproduce in a new typesetting my 1784 copy from Strahan in London. They follow the same pagination down to the last page, where they squeeze the last few lines onto 154 and so are one page shorter than the ...
Fables of Aesop and Others. Translated into English. With Instructive Applications and a Print before each Fable
(Simon Probasco, 1829)
For a start on this little book, consult my comments on the 1804 and 1807 Mozley editions, from which this book seems to have been carefully copied. Like those two and my eleventh and seventeenth editions of Croxall's ...
