Abstract
Édition Classique. This paperbound textbook presents two-hundred fables on 102 pages. The organization comes from the book's rapport with Les Éléments de Grammaire Grecque by M.M. Roersch et Thomas. The back cover has an advertisement for the book. Thus the first fables stand under a heading Premiere déclinaison, and the last fables are under headings dealing with various uses of Greek's cases. The fables include a reference to Halm's numbering system. Immediately following the fables are 92 pages of a Greek-to-French dictionary. I cannot find a T of C, but there is, on 185-86, a list of Halm's numbers for the fables included here. There is finally a list of fifty fables, described as des Éditions ordinaires, with a page number for the corresponding fable in this edition. The preface points out that this book takes the fifty traditional fables and adds one-hundred-and-fifty to them. Completely left out have been those fables which lack the respect due to children and those which are written in Ionic dialect and so are not easy for beginners to comprehend. Were it not clear, the preface shows clearly that this is a book meant for classroom use. The text used for the fables is a modification of Halm. As the preface indicates, Halm first published his edition in 1852. The latest printing of Halm of which Lemoine is aware took place in 1889.
