L'Estrange. Aesop and Other Eminent Mythologists, 1669

Although this book is not illustrated, L'Estrange's Aesop and Other Eminent Mythologists is a delight, so I will be transcribing the fables and morals (but not the reflections) here, using the 1669 third edition as available at the Internet Archive (and there are more editions online here). Then, I will add an illustration to each fable from the illustrations already available at this site.

Here is the frontispiece to that edition:

001. A Cock and a Diamond
002. A Cat and a Cock
003. A Wolf and a Lamb
004. A Frog and a Mouse

Here's a random fable from the book:

Laurentius's Phaedrus (1667)

Phaedri Fabularum libri quinque: The Five Books of the Fables of Phaedrus, edited by Johannes Laurentius with engravings by Christopher Hagens, published in 1667.

online source: Internet Archive

This book is in Latin, so for the text I have used Christopher Smart's verse translation of Phaedrus, which you can find at Project Gutenberg. Smart omits some fables that he found to be too crude, including the woman in childbirth, the ass insulting the boar, the ominous sheep (one of my personal favorites), and the dog ambassadors to Jupiter (another personal favorite). I will find other translations to use for those.

There are a few discrepancies here and there between the Townsend edition at Gutenberg and the edition with the Weir illustrations at the Internet Archive; I have adjusted the text to match the Internet Archive version when I've noticed those small differences.
