GoogleBooks has now scanned enough books from enough libraries that I have been able to pull together a very respectable online collection that represents all the major collections of Aesop's fables in Latin - ancient verse, medieval verse and prose, Renaissance verse and prose, plus all kinds of interesting modern materials. Using the full view books at GoogleBooks, I have been able to link directly to the page on which each fable appears... and the total is now over FOUR THOUSAND Latin fables, representing variations on approximately 1000 different Aesopic plots (about 600 ancient fable types, plus hundreds of Renaissance and modern contributions to the tradition).
Here is just a simple list of what I've compiled at the Aesopus website, in the hopes that some of these books might be useful to you, too. If you have not yet ventured into the amazing world of GoogleBooks, I recommend it very highly indeed!
