The Reinaert Fragments are a collection of seven pages of a Middle
Dutch poem attributed to the fifteenth-century Flemish writer
Hinrek van Alckmer, and printed in Antwerp in about 1487. This
book, originally published in 1927, contains photographic
reproductions of the pages, alongside clear transcriptions of the
text and three beautiful woodcut illustrations. Karl Breul's
detailed introduction sketches the history and development of the
story of Reynard the Fox, from its origins in oral tradition and
the medieval beast epic to Goethe's famous 'Reinecke Fuchs',
indicating the place of the Reinaert poem amongst the various verse
and prose versions. The book also includes a corrected version of
the van Alckmer fragments, and examines their relationship with the
Reinaert II and Reinke texts. The book will be useful to those
studying Middle Dutch and Middle Low German literature or printing
history, and others interested in the Reynard story.
