Il volgarizzamento delle favole di Galfredo dette di Esopo: testo di lingua, Vol. 1
(Gaetano Romagnoli, 1866)
Here is a strange, delicate, unlikely, wonderful find. How likely is it that I find in a Stuttgart bookshop one of 202 copies of an obscure 1866 Bologna publication on an Italian popularization of medieval fables? This ...
Fabeln des Äsop
(Hermann Kuhn KG.s.n.], 1954)
I am surprised that I had not known of this book earlier. It presents thirty Aesopic fables in prose, each on a left-hand numbered page with a design on the facing right page. The pages are made of very heavy paper, and ...
Aesops Fabelbuch (Cover and spine: Aesop's Fabeln)
(Georg W. Dietrich, 1913)
A beautiful book to go with my early editions in English and Swedish. Good runs of the colored and other illustrations. Original decorated light red cloth. This is a very dear gift. Dr. Schibel gave it to me as we ...
Fabhalscéalta Aesóip
(An GumAn Gúm, 2004)
Here is the Gaelic translation of Usborne's 2003 edition of Watson and Price's original work of 1982. Except for the language, the book seems identical. Let me add some of my comments from there. Like the 2003 Aesop's ...
Choix de Fables d'Ésope
(Librairie Classique Eugène BelinLibrairie Classique d'Eugène Belin, 1882)
Here is a handy little volume from the late nineteenth century in Paris. First there are forty fables in Greek, each with an epimythium and plenty of footnotes. After that come forty fables of La Fontaine that imitate ...
The Book of Fables: Containing Aesop's Fables.
(John B. Alden, 1885)
This book's closest relative is the edition by the same name in 1880 from the American Book Exchange. See my comments there. Its other close relative is the Arlington Edition by Hurst which I have listed under 1899?. ...
Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and One Hundred and Ninety-Eight Illustrations
(Thomas Cowperthwaite & Co., 1850)
Many of the text-plates and apparently all the engravings here are identical with those in my 1863 Burnham edition. See my comments there. The margins are cropped closer here. The title-page and perhaps a few other pages ...
Aesop's Fables
(Ward Lock & Co.,, 1910)
This is in many ways a standard Weir book, with illustrations often poorly inked. It has the usual 114 engravings, duly tabulated in the list of illustrations at the front. It has the usual preface and life before that. ...
The Fables of Aesop with a Life of the Author.
(NY: Hurd and Houghton. (Boston: E.P. Dutton and Company.), 1865)
At last I have a first edition of Herrick! And it is in excellent condition! The plates seem identical with those in my three 1865/95? copies. The illustrations come off here as much livelier and more dramatic. Take ...
The Book of Fables Containing Aesop's Fables.
(F.M. Lupton Publishing Company, 1900)
This edition seems a standard Lupton edition, with its Later Fables beginning on 157. Compare it with my Lupton copies under 1901? and 1902?. The big surprise in this copy comes when one pages through and finds no ...
