Fables de La Fontaine, Tome Premier
(Armand Aubrée, Éditeur, 1838)
At first this seemed a second copy of a book I found twelve years ago at Minster Gate and have listed under 1839 (Bodemann #287.3). After closer inspection, I believe that this may be Bodemann #287.1, the first printing ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome Deuxième
(Armand Aubrée, Éditeur, 1839)
As I wrote for Volume I (1838?), this volume seemed at first a second copy of a book I found twelve years ago at Minster Gate and have listed under 1839 (Bodemann #287.3). After closer inspection, I believe that this may ...
Oeuvres Complètes de Jean de La Fontaine
(Chez Firmin Didot Frères, Fils et Cie, Libraires, 1857)
Here is a heavy 684-page tome that seems to have all of La Fontaine's works, starting with the fables. It is larger than my 1854 Fables et Oeuvres Diverses de J. La Fontaine by the same editor and from the same publisher. ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Chez Lefèvre, Libraire/Chez Ledentu, Librairie, 1836)
Bodemann #282.2. This smaller version of Lefebvre's publication of 1835 includes only five Johannot illustrations of the thirteen offered there. The five are: Le Berger et la Mer (frontispiece); TB (facing 160); Les ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome Premier
(Armand Aubrée, Éditeur, 1839)
This is one of my favorite acquisitions for the collection. It seems to reproduce the 1842 edition (Bassy #42, p. 268) in many respects, except that it is published by Armand Aubrée, publisher of the 1839 edition. ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome Second
(Armand Aubrée, Éditeur, 1839)
See my comments on the first volume. As pointed out there, this volume's special frontispiece gives the 1839 date. This volume has the same inscriptions: 9.1.24 and March, '44. Among my favorite illustrations are: both ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Tome II
(Chez Lefèvre, Libraire, 1822)
Bodemann #222.3, Volume Two. This is a new edition of the work first published in 1814 and again in 1818 by Lefèvre, this time--as in 1814--as part of a six-volume Oeuvres de La Fontaine. This seems to be the first edition ...

Fables de La Fontaine
(Nepveu, Libraire, & L. de Bure, Libraire, 1826)
Two volumes, separately paginated, in one. This copy either is Bassy 29b or is a two-volume printing of the same edition in the same year. Bassy's copy seems to have continuous page numbers. The discrepancy is apparent ...
Fables et Oeuvres Diverses de J. La Fontaine.
(Firmin-Didot et Cie, 1910)
Standard straightforward small-sized edition of the fables with helpful notes, followed by 120 pages of selected poems, letters, epigrams, and translations. There is a table of acknowledged sources and AI (by book and ...
