Abstract
Here is a lovely little (6" x 3½") Baudoin edition published exactly 100 years after the first Baudoin. Our collection has older Baudoin editions from 1649, 1659, 1660 (two), and 1669. Like those, this edition contains a basic 118 fables, each numbered and followed by a "discours Maurois," as is typical for Baudoin. After these 118, there is an "Augmentation" presenting 119-138, each of these with not a "discours" but a much shorter "remarque." Most fables have a rectangular illustration 2" x 1⅜". These are well preserved but quite simple. A good sample is WL on 118. As I believe to be typical of Baudoin, the first fable is CJ. Contemporary leather covered boards. Vii + 520 pp. The title continues "Augmentees de Plusieres Autres Fables d'Esope, qui ont ete omises dans les Presedentes Impressions." There is a T of C at the end.
