- Abstract
- en_US It is the variorum notes that distinguish this edition of La Fontaine's fables. The notes contain a number of passages from various commentators and other writers. Otherwise this seems to be a straightforward edition of La Fontaine's fables on some 464 pages. The title-page boasts of a beau portrait gravé sur acier that seems no longer to be present. The back has a table of authors and an AI. The title-page has quite a lot of material on it. Let me spin it out here: Fables de J. La Fontaine suivies de Philémon et Baucis et des Filles de Minée précédées de la vie d'Ésope et d'une Préface par la Fontaine. Édition Variorum publiée par M. Charles Louandre accompagnée d'une notice par M. Sainte-Beuve de l'Académie Française et ornée d'un beau portrait gravé sur acier. Phew! It is exhausting just to reproduce this title! Marbled boards with some faux-leather. Inscribed in 1861.
