Abstract

en_US This is a rare little LaFontaine volume in several ways. First, it contains no notes. Second, it contains letters. Third, the sometime owner left many inserts in the book, particularly handwritten fables and fables by other authors. The book was originally sold in Turin and has a stamp of the book-dealer inside the front cover. This may be one of the most international volumes I have: I refer to the selling in Turin of a book of French literature published by an English firm that produced it in Scotland. Is that Oudry's tapestry of Aesop paying homage to LaFontaine in the frontispiece?
