Abstract
This book is the second half of a book catalogued earlier. This volume, like the "Seconde Partie" of that single volume, includes Books VII through XII of La Fontaine's fables, each fable with a strong illustration. Pagination starts afresh there as here. The "Second Partie" title-page is the same. This copy differs in including a frontispiece not found there: La Fontaine in the midst of animals. The other illustrations are all here, some of the earliest -- including the frontispiece -- hand colored. I looked again and find this book and that fuller copy somehow in the family of Bodemann #174. The publisher, editor, and date of publication all square. Even the size of the illustrations is the same: 5 cm x 7 cm. The problem is that #174 seems to have been a five-volume work. This book is fragile. I would describe its condition as fair. As in the larger volume, there is an AI at the end.
