This book reproduces another in the collection, but with several changes. It might be several years younger than my other copy. Notice these differences. On the front cover, the publisher's name is inside the frame ...

Here is a compilation of an edition of the four volumes which I had already found from Michael Hackenburg at Turtle Island. This volume not only pulls the four together into one volume. It is generally a simpler version. ...

The title-page continues Accompagnées de Notes Explicatives et Précédées d'un Aperçu sur la Fable et le Principaux Fabulistes. Bodemann helps with this edition, which I take to be #303.2. All the data seem to match. The ...
