Title page discoloured at edges with an ink signature. <br/><br/>Title continues: "Nunc demùm ex Collatione Optimorum Exemplarium ab infinitis penè Mendis repurgatae; Unà cum nonnullis Variorum Authorum Fabulis adjectis. Et Indice Correctiori praefixo." Whether the legendary Greek fabulist Aesop really existed remains a fascinating mystery. He may have been a slave and storyteller in ancient Greece or merely a legend. The series of fables that bear his name however have descended to modern times through a number of sources and continue to be reinterpreted. This early 18th-century Latin language collection was produced by the Company of Stationers. impensis Societatis Stationariorum hardcover

1623ABC_45188Paris: Jean Libert 1623. Contemporary French gold-tooled calf sewn on 2 supports each board with the coat-of-arms of Henri de La Tour 1555-1623 Duc de Bouillon and Prince of Sedan who married the daughter of William the Silent founding father of the Dutch Republic with a French Ducal crown the whole in a wreath of 2 laurel branches with berries the flat spine divided into 4 fields each with a central decoration gilt edges. Marbled paste-downs fine-toothed combed pattern in red blue and white. 16mo. With a woodcut decoration on the title-page and woodcut decorated initials in the text. Very rare 24º edition of 150 prose fables by Aesop and 43 verse fables by Babrius here called Gabrius in Greek and Latin on facing pages remotely based on the text of the illustrated humanistic editions published by Jean de Tournes in Lyons. While the existence of Aesop ca. 620-ca. 584 BCE as a story teller is attested in many early sources the canon that appears under his name contains fables passed down orally and rendered in literary form by many authors over the centuries. Babrius wrote verse fables shortly before 200 CE that were later rendered in Greek prose and added to the Aesop canon. Although the title-page indicates that the fables are illustrated the present edition never contains woodcuts: Libert apparently copied his title from one of the illustrated editions. He does include Maximus Planudess extensive account of Aesops life preceding the fables. Although the earliest European marbled papers appear to have been made in or around southern Germany they were not combed. Wolfe notes that the French first used marbled paper for bookbindings and the present paste-downs closely resemble his earliest example of combed marbled paper. The arms on the binding are quartered with an inescutcheon. The Counts of Auvergne had born the quartered arms of La Tour and the Counts of Auvergne with the inescutcheon of the Counts of Boulogne since 1389. With the Counts of Boulogne extinct the arms passed to another branch of the family descending to Henri de La Tour 1555-1623 who took the title Duc de Bouillon by marriage in 1591 and later inherited the title Vicomte de Turenne from his father. In 1595 he married Elisabeth van Oranje Nassau daughter of William the Silent 1533-1584. Their second son was the famous Marshal Turenne 1611-1675. Early owners inscription on title-page in ink. Lacking the last leaf of the index title-page cut short at the head not affecting the text and a small worm hole in the second half sometime affecting a letter in the first line but otherwise in good condition. Binding rubbed not affecting the arms and backstrip worn a few small chips and holes and hinges cracked.l KVK & WorldCat 2 or 3 copies; cf. Bodemann 29.2 similar 1570 De Tournes ed.

1667745Amsterdam: Laurentius 1667. Hardcover. Fair. 1st edition thus of Aesop's Fables as printed by Laurentius in 1667 and including over 100 engravings; this copy with the explicit engravings pages 276 and 279 depicting a brothel unaltered which is rare due to centuries of censorship to the rather coarse illustrations. The completeness of this edition is often mentioned for its completeness as it contains ninety-two of the Phaedrus fables. Each fable is richly annotated. About Aesop's Fables - Aesop's Fables or the Aesopica is a collection of fables credited to Aesop a slave and storyteller who lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE. Bibliographic Details - Universal Short Title Catalogue USTC number 1804349 found in 13 of the world's best libraries. Richly referenced. One of my favorites for its simplicity comes from Greg Carlson the Carlson Fable Collection online and he writes of this edition: We have a title-page and the glorious frontispiece featuring a Roman Emperor Phaedrus and Aesop. Bodemann #75.1 notes the number of dedications that open the book. The illustrations for each fable are uniformly just over 3½"" by 2¾"". According to Bodemann they have few known sources. They tend to portray several phases of a fable at once; for example on 43 we see in the foreground the stag admiring his image in the water. Further back and to the right we see the dogs catching the stag as the hunter stands by. Similarly we see both phases of FS on 78. The illustrations are strong and well preserved. They were printed in a separate phase from the texts as is clear for example on 25 where the illustration overlaps the bottom of the title. I seem to remember many of the images from various sources like the dramatic pose of the Aesop statue on 128. Page 194 has a second illustration pasted in over the original illustration for III 12 ""Pullus ad Margaritam."" The same on 205 for ""Canis ad Agnum"" III 15. Several fables like V 2 seem to have some lines expurgated and replaced with asterisks. I am unsure why. The fables are followed by significant sections of ""Variae Lectiones"" ""Notae Guyeti"" ""Vocabulorum"" and an ""Index Rerum et Verborum."" The final page has a list of errata. Physical Attributes - Measures approx. 11.5 x 19 x 3.5 cm. Mottled leather binding of the 18th century style. Boards with a single gilt fillet frame. Spine with four raised bands; four compartments with a central gilt flower stamp and one with the title in gilt but the gilt is largely lost as the mottling has reduced the outer layer of the leather. The text block edges are sprinkled red. Top-edge is darkened. Double endbands of white and blue. Illustrated; bibliographies record 103 engravings. I did personally check the collation signed numbers at the bottom of each page and this copy is complete including the often lost two blank leaves at the rear I shined a light through to make sure they matched the 6th leaf in the gathering. Pages - 32 leaves of prefatory material signed to 8 462 numbered pages ending on Ff7verso leaves signed Ff8 to end TT8 are index. Collation - to 8 A-Z8 Aa-Tt8 Condition - See pictures. Some loss of leather where mottled some loss of gilt. Still the binding is performing well. Some small wear to leather at board edges. Rubbing on back board. Start of a crack at ends of joints. Hinge is cracked inside exposing ties/crash at gutter. Pastedown and flyleaf with pasted stamped written and erased bibliographic and shelf mark annotations. Blank bookbinder's endpaper shaken slightly loose and proud. Text block with some toning and occasional rust spots candle ember mark and thumb throughout. Top corner Y3 chipped away no text affected. Small ink spot along fore-edge at rear; just shows on printed page fore-edge margin. Mostly a nice copy; very few thumbs I saw just several no page edge chips and no annotations. Laurentius
