Abstract

en_US
Bodemann #222.3. This is a new edition of the work first published in 1814 and again in 1818 by Lefèvre, this time--as in 1814--as part of a six-volume Oeuvres de La Fontaine. This seems to be the first edition including the editing and notes of Walckenaer. (An 1821 children's edition by Nepveu seems to have excerpted some of his new work.) Walckenaer's introductory material includes 143 pages. The illustrations--a frontispiece of La Fontaine and one illustration per book--seem to be engravings after the originals by Moreau le jeune, apparently in the 1814 edition. My favorites among the illustrations are OR (93) and Le Villageous et le Serpent (265). The others are Le Lion et le Moucheron (109); Les Membres et l'Estomac; L'Avare qui a perdu son Trésor (208); and La Fortune et le jeune Enfant (219). How nice to happen across this important edition on Alibris! The front cover is detached, and the spine is deteriorating.
