List of fictional works in Gargantua and Pantagruel
The following is a List of fictional books in Gargantua and Pantagruel. This is not a list of the five novels that make up Gargantua and Pantagruel, but rather a list of invented or imaginary books that are mentioned or discussed by characters in Gargantua and Pantagruel. Since the titles exist only within the context of the story, they are fictional.
The series of five novels, by French author Francois Rabelais, includes within its storyline an immense number of fictional books, many scatological and all humorous. Many of these fictional books are titled deliberately to mock the clergy, such as Antipericatamentanaparbeugedamphibricationes, or Discussions on All Manner of Subjects by [...] Monks, but an equal number are simply silly, such as And Cheese, Too.
This article was created as a spin-off of the overgrown List of fictional books article. There is also a main article on fictional books in general.
