Let

denote the Nth Fermat curve. The period lattice of F(N) is contained with finite index in the product of certain lattices Lr,s (see [6]), and to this inclusion of lattices there corresponds an isogeny of the Jacobian of F(N) onto a product of abelian varieties. The purpose of this paper is to determine when two factors in this product are isogenous over C, and whether they are absolutely simple.
