Abstract

en_US Apparently first printed in 1473 or 1474. It seems to have been a thirteenth century translation of the Dutch original. The Latin on the left faces the Dutch translation on the right for the 1850 verses of this poem. I tried the Latin in one of my favorite sections of Reynard. Reynard welcomes Tiburt the cat, who asks for a mouse to eat if he is to stay the night. Reynard brings him to the priest's granary. Reynard knows that a trap has been set there for him, since he had been there last evening. He leads Tiburt right to the spot, and the cat is taken. I wanted to see how explicit the Latin is about the cat's interaction with the priest. The Latin reads easily and is not only quite easy to understand. It is quite explicit! After a 35-page introduction and a list of abbreviations, the text runs from 38 to 170, apparently with variant readings and numberings noted in footnotes. I believe that what follows includes a vocabulary, a grammatical commentary, a list of verses with pages on which comments are made about them, a list of proper names, and a T of C. This would be the perfect book for me to study deeply if I ever got involved in a seminar studying Reynard.
