The De Tournes family moved to Geneva in 1585 to escape religious persecution as Hugenots. In 1619 Jean de Tournes III sold his house in Lyon to the printer Guichard Juliéron, who probably issued the present edition in Lyon under the name of Jean de Tournes.Ad 2: A rare collection of Greek poetry and other works by Theognis and Phocylides, ideas and thoughts of Pythagoras, and the mottos of Solon. The editor and translator, Fredericus Sylberg (1536-1596) was a classical philologist working as a corrector and editor for the publisher Henr. Commelin at Heidelberg. Ad. 1: with owner’s entry on the front paste-down: "Sum ex libris Hugonis Suchier, Ritelii [= Rinteln], 1881". There are more than a dozen errors in the pagination, but both books are nevertheless complete. Some woodcuts slightly worn, boards slightly damaged. Ad. 2: minor water stains (pp. 115-158).l Ad 1: cf. Bodeman, 29.2. Ad 2: STCN (2 copies).

AESOP (ILLUSTRATED BY EDWARD J. DETMOLD)

The Fables of Aesop

New York, Gramercy. 1994, First Thus. (ISBN: 0517100835). Hard Cover, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Ill.: Detmold, Edward J. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket Aesop is said to have been a Phrygian slave who lived around 570 B.C. Some of his tales are believed to have been turned into verse by Socrates during his imprisonment and, later, in the second century A.D. by the Greek poet Babrius. In this form the fables were all well known in the Middle Ages. This edition was first published in 1909, and includes 23 of Edward Detmold's beautiful animal paintings as well as many of his black-and-white drawings and more than 300 of Aesop's very wise tales. Edward J. Detmold, who was born in 1883, was one of England's greatest book illustrators and with his twin brother Charles Maurice were drawing the animals in Regents Park Zoo and the Natural History Museum and at the age of 13 were the youngest artists ever to exhibit their work at the Royal Academy. 22.

AESOP

The Fables of Aesop

A5 front room beige brown hard to read spine, Contemporary Books. 1988. (ISBN: 9780809244850). Paperback. Paperback in good condition, small mark to front cover. Riccio, Frank (Illustrator). From Publishers Weekly This British husband-and-wife team has gleaned more than a hundred of the ancient storyteller's fables for this beguiling compendium. Well-known entries (e.g. "The Tortoise and the Hare"; "The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs") are presented cheek-by-jowl with lesser-known offerings ("The Bald Knight"; "The Crab and Her Baby"). As explained in a detailed foreword, the retellings are served up much as Aesop might have told them, unadorned by the clicheed moral epigrams that have come to be attached to his tales over the centuries. The abundant illustrations invite browsing as well as close reading: the pages are peppered with droll black-and-white sketches as well as energetic full-color watercolors. A table of contents and title index are useful additions. Used: Acceptable.

AESOP

The Fables of Aesop with a Life of the Author. Embellished with One Hundred and Twelve Plates. [Translation by Samuel Croxall.] STOCKDALE'S AESOP: THE CROZIER COPY ON LARGE PAPER

Printed for John Stockdale, Piccadilly,. 2 vols., roy. 8vo., First Edition thus, LARGE PAPER, with engraved title-vignettes and 110 fine full-page engraved plates; handsomely bound in contemporary full brown diced calf, boards with triple frame border enclosing decorative frame all in gilt, backs with raised bands ruled in gilt, second and fourth compartments lettered and numbered in gilt, all other compartments elaborately tooled in gilt with a geometrical floral flourish, marbled edges, gilt doublures, marbled endpapers, expertly rebacked with old backstrips laid down, a splendid, crisp and remarkably clean copy in sympathetically restored period binding. WITH THE FINE ENGRAVED ARMORIAL BOOKPLATE OF RAWSON BODDAM CROZIER [1775-1849] ON FRONT PASTE-DOWNS. FIRST EDITION OF THIS SELECTION. Large Paper copies are invariably [as here] the first issue with uncorrected page numeral [891] on p.198, and issued without Stockdale's later advertisement leaf for his edition of Gay's Fables. This selection comprises 110 fables, each illustrated with a superb full-page engraving by Blake, Clarke, Eastgate, Grainger, Landseer, Stothard and several other artists. Croxall compiled his translation (first published in 1722) to rival the well-known version of Roger L'Estrange (first published 1692, many times reprinted and prior to Croxall the well-nigh 'standard' text). Croxall accuses his predecessor of Jacobite tendencies, but has himself not resisted the temptation to incorporate political overtones into what is primarily a children's book. A SPLENDID COPY OF THE FIRST STOCKDALE EDITION AND SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION.
