Vita Di Esopo Frigio, Prudente, & Facetto Favelatore
(Per Il Cestari, 1664)
Here is a great little addition to the collection. It most closely approximates Bodemann #52.3 but was published nine years earlier. The publisher there is listed as Erben des Giovanni Baptista Cestari, with a publication ...
Aesopi Phrygis Fabulae
(Apvd Ioannem Tornaesivmapud Ioannem Tornaesium, 1619)
One of the gems of this collection. Undersized and fragile. Bilingual in columns of Greek and Latin for its first few sections: definitions of fable by Aphthonius and Philostratos; life of Aesop; and 150 fables (beginning ...
Aesopi Phrygis Fabulae Elegantissimis iconibus illustratae
(Jean JullieronSumptibus Ioannis Iullieron, 1614)
Bodemann finds the texts here stemming from the Jean de Tournes edition of 1551 in Lyon. Bodemann also sees the fable illustrations as copies of those in the Jean de Tournes-Guillaume Gazeau edition of 1549 from Lyon. ...
Aesop's Fables with his Life: in English, French, and Latin, Newly Translated
(Printed by William Godbid for Francis Barlow and are to be sold by Ann Seile ... and Edward Powell ...,, 1666)
Here is one of the foremost treasures of this collection! Barlow did a first edition, to which this book belongs, in 1666. As Hobbs reports, The original edition had been printed in 1666, a year after Ogilby's folio ...
The Fables of Aesop Paraphras'd in Verse
(William Andrews Clark Memorial Library University of California,William Andrews Clark Memorial Library: UCLA, 1668)
The versions here are longish and filled with topical references. The illustrations are quite faint. Several put another fable's picture in the background. The best illustrations for me might be The Head and the Members ...

(Chez Iean & David BerthelinChez Jean & David Berthelin, 1660)
Fabula Docet lists three Baudoin editions in its catalogue (#12, 17, 123). Baudoin's first edition in 1631 in Paris contained only 117 Aesopic fables, reportedly translated by Pierre Boissat. With the ethical and political ...
Labyrinte de Versailles
(Nicolaus Visscher, 1683)
Finding this book was a terrific surprise! Laurence Veyrier had shown me a number of fable books. As I finished, she mentioned offhand that I probably would not be interested in the Versailles labyrinth. I have looked ...

(Printed for T. Basset [etc.]Printed for T. Basset, R. Clavel, and R. Chiswel at the George in Fleetstreet, at the Peacock, and the Rose and Crown in St. Paul's Church-yard, 1675)
Bodemann #76.1 is the first edition of this work. I take it that the first edition was a large-format work. I suspect that the annotations there were done in the margin. Here Androcleus and The Ephesian Matron are the ...
The Fables of Aesop Paraphras'd in Verse, and adorned with Sculpture
(Printed by Thomas Warren for Andrew Crook, 1651)
Bodemann #70.1. Here is the costliest book in my collection. I never thought I would have a chance at it! This book has lost its binding, though its boards are still present. After an epistle dedicatory, a tribute by ...
