Editions
I was making a project of trying to kill Aesop's Fables in its current form and replace it with a bunch of proofread paged texts. Seems I've hit a roadblock on this one which is going to put a halt to that. Townsend's Aesop's are an absolute mess of a publishing history. I can't for the life of me figure out what we have transcribed in the index namespace and what we have right now on the main namespace. Prosody (talk) 02:16, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Edition
This text is the same as the one on Internet Sacred Texts Archive. They identify the edition as Chicago, Belford, Clarke & Co., 1887. No luck finding facsimiles. Prosody (talk) 00:45, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Edition again
This might actually be the 1968 Doubleday edition. It has the same Table of Contents order, and there's characteristic language, like "but to find some plea to justify to the" where most seem to have "but to find some plea, which should justify to the" in The Wolf and the Lamb. Will investigate more. Prosody (talk) 19:07, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It wouldn't surprise me if it were the 1968 edition. The edition we have appears to be the same as on Gutenberg and also Aesopica; the latter claims it dates to 1867 (rather then 1887 on Sacred Texts). The 1867 editions on Archive.org are not the same however. I'd be inclined to replace our existing edition with a slightly different but verifiable edition. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 16:17, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
