Attractive contemporary French red morocco gilt bindings, with only very slight defects. First Edition. Provenance: The set belonged to Edwin Wolf II (1911 1991) - famous as the Librarian of the Library Company of Philadelphia, and as a collector, and an employee of the renowned Rosenbach Co. from 1930 to 1952. The Family Album purchased a large part of his collection of early books in 1992. About this work : The world famous tales and fables of Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695), neatly printed in verse, are joined by a 'Dissertation sur la Joconde' by Nicolas Boileau Despreaux (1636-1711); and the best work of the great illustrators & engravers Charles Eisen (1720-1778) and Pierre-Philippe Choffard (1730-1809). Justly considered one of the greatest examples of French rococo illustration. The Fermiers Generaux, an entrepreneurial financial association responsible for gathering and banking certain kinds of taxes, commissioned this edition of La Fontaine's zesty tales. Determined that the book should be the best of its kind, they allowed their agent, the Chevalier d'Agincourt, unlimited resources. It is still provocative to consider that patronage of the arts by this new plutocracy produced the greatest monument and triumph of this renowned age of illustration.

Very Good Turkish Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Turkish. 84 p. Pançatantra masallari. Panchatantra (Five treatise) is an ancient Indian collection of interrelated animal fables in Sanskrit verse and prose, arranged within a frame story. The surviving work is dated to about 300 BCE, but the fables are likely much more ancient. The text's author is unknown, but has been attributed to Vishnu Sharma in some recensions and Vasubhaga in others, both of which may be fictitious pen names. It is likely a Hindu text, and based on older oral traditions with "animal fables that are as old as we are able to imagine". First Edition.

As New English Paperback. Pbo. Mint. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14 cm). In Kurdish. 384 p. Zargotina Kurdên Serhedê - Kilam û Destanên Epîk ên Dîrokî, Mêrxasî û Serhildanan" ku ji aliyê Mehmet Gültekin ve hatiye berhevkirin û amadekirin, di nav wesanên Avestayê de derket. Dema kurdek tenê li hember çiyayekî disekine, ew bi hevdû ra bi kurdî diaxivin û distirên. Rohat Alakom, di pêsgotina ku ji bo kitêbê nivîsandiye de wiha dibêje: "Zargotina Kurdên Serhedê ji sedî zêdetir stranên dîrokî ên mêrxasiyê, mêraniyê û cengewariyê pêskêsî xwendevanan dike. Piraniya wan cara yekem derbasî ser kaxiz dibin û tên wesandin. Her stranek li ser mijarekê ava bûye, sax vedaye û bûyerekê vedibêje, pêskês dike. Her yek ji wan xweyê dîrokekê ye yan jî dîrokekê, serpêhatiyekê raberî xwendevanan dike. Mehmet ji bo ku naveroka van berheman bas bê famkirin, destpêkeke dirêj jî wek lêkolîn amade kiriye û ligel van stranan wesandiye. Di vê besê de tistine gelek balkês li ser huner û dîroka dengbêjiya kurdî cîh girtine. Wî bi jêrenot û nivîsnasiyên xwe gelek mijarên nezelal ronî kiriye, alîkarî daye xwendevanan. Ev stran, ev berhemên ku di vê pirtûka delal de cîh girtine ji bo pêsketina ziman, edebiyat û herwisa ji bo dîroka kurdî wek çavkanî dikarin roleke gelek mezin bilîzin û hin pirsên çanda kurdî ronî bikin. Min bi xwe ev pirtûka nivîskar-lêkoler Mehmet Gultekîn bi dildarî û bi hewaseke mezin xwend. Gelek tistên nû ji naveroka vê pirtûka kêrdar fêr bûm. Hêvî dikim ku xwendevanên kurd, dildarên zargotina kurdî jî wê bi kêfxwesiyeke mezin vê pirtûka kurdî bixwînin, tam û lezetekê jê werbigrin."
