Remark:
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 Aesop, again with plentiful footnotes. (It thus becomes clear that the choice of Aesopic fables in the first section is determined by the La Fontaine imitations in this second section.) Pages 81-128 then are a Greek-French lexicon. Following that is a T of C for each of the sets of forty fables. The last major section contains forty-five themes of imitation on the twenty-four first fables of Aesop with grammatical notes by M.C. Rouzé. Pagination starts afresh in this section. What a wonderful find!
