Abstract
Here is a 1951 edition of a book I already have in an edition for which I guessed the year 1938. What has changed? First, the publisher has changed from Éditions École et Collège to Les Éditions de l'École. They have kept the same address but no longer put it onto the cover of the book. The front cover's nice illustration of FC has changed from green ink to the black ink of the rest of the cover. LeMeur is no longer given an academic position on the cover. He is presented there now not as Le Chanoine Le Meur but simply as A. Le Meur. The title-page remains the same except for the change in the publisher's name. Is that a typo that remains on the title-page? Docteur ?s Lettres? After that, the book seems to remain identical right up to the colophon on its last page, which notes that the printer is now Lahure in Paris, not Arrault in Tours. As I wrote of the earlier edition, this is a helpful school edition containing perhaps two-thirds of La Fontaine's fables. Apparently each has a black-and-white illustration, and they are well done. These would be helpful simple illustrations for handout questions when dealing with La Fontaine in a course. At the back there is first an AI of fables and then a T of C. The notes with each fable seem quite extensive. The illustrations are signed R. MV--.
