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.

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.
