List of fictional works in Gargantua and Pantagruel

The following is a List of fictional books in Gargantua and Pantagruel, a series of five novels by French author François Rabelais. This is not a list of these five novels, but rather a list of invented or imaginary books that are mentioned or discussed by the characters in them. Since the titles exist only within the context of the story, they are fictional.

Gargantua and Pantagruel references 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 Shit Monks, but an equal number are simply silly, such as And Cheese, Too.
