About This Item

Paris: chez Jean du Bray, 1649. No edition stated. 8vo, engraved half-title, engraved title, 3pp advertissement, (3), 9pp Epistre, (2), 379pp, 4pp index. 30 text engravings (one for each fable). Full brown calf, blindstamped, brown title label with gilt titling. Binding a little rubbed, but still a very good copy. There are a small number of manuscript alterations to errors in the text that make it look as though this copy was used for correcting a new edition. This book would at one stage have been part of a larger work also including Aesop's fables; this particular copy only contains fables by Philelphe. A subsequent edition of this work (1659) seems only to contain 18 fables by Philelphe, with no illustrations of these 18 fables.
