Aesop's Fables
(Jonathan Cape, 1989)
A great find on my first afternoon in Glasgow! Apparently this book is for sale only in the United Kingdom--unfortunately for the rest of us. The dust jacket is right: Lord's 100+ illustrations are exquisitely detailed. ...
Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and a Print Before Each Fable
(H. Mozley, 1807)
See my comments on the 1804 edition by the same publisher. By contrast, this book lacks the frontispiece and any title-page vignette; further its title above CJ on 1 (Aesop's Fables) is simpler, and the cuts are much ...
Selectiores Aesopi Phrygis Fabulae et Luciani Samosatensis Dialogi, Isocratis Orationes duae, Cebetis Thebani Tabula
(In Aedibus Tho. Ruddimanni, Sumptibus Geo. StewartIn Ædibus Tho. Ruddimanni Sumptibus Geo. Stewart, Bibliopolæ in Area Parliamentaria,, 1723)
A typical early-18th century bilingual textbook for learning Greek, presumably from the already known Latin. 62 fables. AI by Latin names on 63-4. It was very nice to find something old done in Scotland to bring back ...
Fables of Aesop and Others Translated into English with Instructive Applications and a Print Before Each Fable
(Printed for J. Brambles A. Meggitt, and J. Waters, by H. Mozley, Gainsborough,, 1804)
This book seems to be an earlier edition of what Bodemann describes under #107.6. That book has Mozley for a publisher in 1819 in Derby; this book locates him in Gainsborough some fifteen years earlier. The only discrepancy ...
Caxton's Aesop
(Harvard University Press, 1967)
A valuable book for which I sought a long time. I was amazed to find it in this downtown San Diego store whose owner thought he had nothing for me. The introduction gives a clear picture of the provenance of Caxton's ...
Aesop's Fables
(Adam & Charles Black, 1912)
This edition has a dust jacket but seems otherwise to reproduce my 1950 reprinting of the 1912 original. The colored illustrations are particularly well done here. This is what I wrote on that 1950 reprinting: It reduces ...
Basni Esopa (Russian)
(Izd. T-va I.D. Sytina, 1908)
The seller reports correctly that this volume contains fifty-two fables and eight drawings on its 88 pages. As it is unusual to find Aesop in France because of La Fontaine, so it is unusual, I think, to find Aesop in ...
Aisopou Mythoi Eklektoi/Fables Choisies d'Ésope; texte Grec, suivi des racines
(Imprimerie d'Auguste Delalain, 1834)
Nouvelle Edition avec Notes par A.M. The fable book takes up 66 pages. There are forty fables. Almost every commentary begins by identifying a parallel or source in Phaedrus, La Fontaine, Faerno, or Desbillons. The ...
Aesop's Fables, Chiefly from Original
(The Ariel Booklets. NY: The Knickerbocker Press: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1848)
This edition shares identical text and engravings with many others, but in a lovely little leather-bound book with gold leaf and better reproductions. The illustrations are the same but the text, while identical, is set ...
Aesop's Fables
(Porter & Coates, 1848)
This book has a different cover from the Porter and Coates Alta edition, but interiorly they are the same. This book is in excellent condition, and the printing here of the Tenniel illustrations is excellent. The book ...
