A scholarly Hachette parallel-text edition presenting Aesop's fables in Greek with dual French translations (literal and idiomatic), devised for classroom use. The title page bears a stamp of noted American Egyptologist Charles Edwin Wilbour; a later inscription of Genevieve Graydon (1953) records a subsequent owner. The binding is worn but the text remains legible throughout. Book is 7 in x 5 in.
