- Abstract
- en_US This is a lovely little book, the earliest Coste edition I have. It is certainly in the family of Bodemann #121. The date matches with #121.2, but the editor there is Prault fils aîné, whereas here it is Humblot. The description of #121.1, published in 1743, also seems to match up well. Here as in #121.2 the printer is Didot. The frontispiece by Picart has Aesop explaining his fables to La Fontaine. There is a lovely vignette at the beginning of each book, several of them labeled Caron. The description for #121.1 refers to two landscapes in conjunction with two dedications, but I cannot find them. All twelve books are here in two volumes separately paginated. What a lovely inexpensive find!
