Baudoin's comment's were translated into English and appeared in John Toland's edition of 1704:

The Fables of Aesop. With the Moral Reflections of Monsieur Baudoin. Translated from the French. To which is prefix’d by another Hand; The True Life of Aesop, by the most Learned and Noble Critick Monsieur de Meziriac, proving by unquestionable Authorities, that Aesop was an ingenious, eloquent and comely Person, a Courtier and Philosopher; contrary to the fabulous Relation of the Monk Plaundes, who makes him Stupid, Stammering, a Buffoon, and monstrously Deform’d. (London: Tho. Leigh and Dan. Midwinter, 1704). See the facs. PDF.
