Gargantua and Pantagruel 

The First Book. (Gargantua)
The Second Book.  (Pantagruel)
The Third Book. (Le Tiers-Livre, or The Third Book)

I've replicated the full index for each text, but not all chapters of G&P have material (yet...) and some sections are unlikely to be used. This blog only deals with the first three books, as they were the three translated by Sir Thomas Urquhart. Again, links to the works themselves are at Sources and Resources.
