Abstract

en_US Here are two volumes covering a good deal of information about La Fontaine, those who preceded him, and those who followed him. Since the preface is dated 1866, I will assume that an earlier edition appeared then. This first volume has a T of C at the front. Early chapters deal with Aesop, Phaedrus and Babrius, oriental fables, parables in the Gospel, and medieval fables in Roman du Renard and in fabliaux. The eighth chapter compares La Fontaine with fabulists of the seventeenth century. Girardin then goes on to examine the character and life of La Fontaine; Lulli, Saint-Évremond, and La Fontaine's death; and his bringing together of study and inspiration. The last two chapters look at the morale of his fables. Here is a first for me: at the end of this book there is one note (447). One! The cover of both volumes is stamped Lycee de la Rochelle, where these volumes were given as a second-prize in mathematics to a student. The book was purchased from A. Foucher's Librairie in La Rochelle.
