Abstract
This pair of volumes is curiously not in Bodemann, even though #191 is Le Prieur's apparent companion volume Fables de la Fontaine, with a second edition in 1807. Planudes' life of Aesop takes this first volume up to 144. Thenceforth there are three illustrations, each almost 1½ x 2½, to a single page preceding the next three fables--and even interrupting the last of the three. These are delightful, traditional, and in good condition. The illustrations are sometimes out of place by one pair of pages; that marked to occur facing 166, e.g., faces 168. The illustrations to face 256 face 264. The central illustration there, DM, may be a good example of the style in these illustrations. This volume contains seventy-one fables. If you do some mathematics, Someone wrote accurately that there are twenty-two pages of illustrations here; that accounts for sixty-six illustrations. Fables XXVI, XXXI, XL, XLV, and LII are not illustrated. Each fable is introduced and concluded by a rhyming verse quatrain. At the end of this volume is a T of C for both volumes.
