Bibliography of Aesopian Works Created before 1600
According to Liza Blake and Kathryn Vomero Santos, "Aesop is unique among classical authors as they were received by Renaissance humanists, because his corpus — if you believe ‘him’ to have existed at all — was distributed and uncertain" ("Introduction," Arthur Golding's A Moral Fabletalk and Other Renaissance Fable Translations, Ed. Liza Blake and Kathryn Vomero Santos. Cambridge: MHRA, 2017, 10). As far as we know, Aesop isn't the "author" of any of the surviving texts we have: the oldest texts we have are the Greek authors Gabrius/Babrius and Phaedrus, hence why they, not Aesop, get a Loeb volume. That Aesop is given as author for some texts not others is a cataloging irregularity, not a clear (or accurate) reflection of his authorship.
