Reynard the Fox: An Old Story Newly Told
No full textHere is a recent reprint of a translation of Goethe’s “Reynard” with a selection of reprints from Kaulbach’s very important artwork. This copy has leather covers. Alas, the illustrations, which are neither printed on the verso nor paginated, are quite lightly printed. My favorite – the priest’s encounter with the challenged Tibur – is not here. Originally published by W. Swan and Sonnenschein & Company in London about 1885.Johann Wolfgang von Goethe; Mme de Sancti
Reynard Braak and Braak's Bakeries
No full textReynard Braak has been a life-long resident of Spring Lake, where his family owned and operated a bakery with stores in Grand Haven and Fruitport. Reynard and his brothers took over Braak's Bakeries in 1941 when their father, Jacob, retired. Reynard recalls how the Great Depression and World War II affected the business and describes the changes Spring Lake Village underwent over the years. He also reminisces about the Interurban line and riding the last car from Spring Lake to Grand Haven. Braak served as a deacon and elder in the Spring Lake Baptist Church and was the first Boy Scout in Spring Lake to receive the Eagle Scout Award with Troop 14
Rogue Reynard
No full textThis is a helpful children's version of Reynard. I find it particularly good in giving a fast overview of the Reynard story. Caution: the story seems to be altered to protect children. Thus the original offense of Reynard is not the rape of Lupus' wife, but rather getting her tail frozen and lost in the fishing trick. Archaic language and simple art. Taped corners.Andre Norto
Geodiversity and Geoheritage: Crossing Disciplines and Approaches
Get PDFIn recent times, two terms, which are being used more and more frequently have been introduced into scientific nomenclature: Geoheritage (cf. Reynard and Brilha 2018 and references therein) and Geodiversity (cf. Gray 2013, 2018 and Najwer and Zwoliński 2014 and references therein). The concept of geoheritage was introduced in the 1970s (cf. Martini 1994), whereas geodiversity has been recognised as a concept worth investigating from the 1990s onwards (e.g. Wiedenbein 1993; Sharples 1995) but several recent attempts have been made to properly define and assess it (cf. Zwoliński et al. 2018 and references therein). Since their appearance, both concepts have aroused strong interest and debate, not only of researchers in Earth Sciences but also of experts in biology (e.g. Parks and Mulligan 2010; Hjort et al. 2012), spatial planning (e.g. Poiraud et al. 2016; Gordon et al. 2018; Bruschi and Coratza 2018 and references therein), general tourism (cf. Newsome and Dowling 2018 and reference therein) as well as national geotourism (e.g. Asrat et al. 2008 for Ethiopia and Migoń 2012 for Poland and references therein) and cultural heritage (e.g. Margottini 2007; Přikryl and Torok 2010; Coratza et al. 2016; Reynard et al. 2017), especially those interested in integrated and interdisciplinary approaches. This increase in awareness is testified within scientific circles by the numerous scientific conferences, workshops and sessions on geoheritage and geodiversity issues organised during the last two decades. Worthy of note is the increasing success from 2013 of the joint session on geoheritage and geodiversity in the European Geosciences Union General Assembly, which demonstrates the importance of heritage issues to the geoscience community
Phoebus Focus IV: Wetenschappelike Uitgever
No full text"A short history of the medieval animal epic" says it well. This 64-page booklet has five sections with strong illustrations taken from the history of the Reynard tradition. These sections cover the genesis of the Reynard tradition; Reynard's successes and his censure; Reynard as personification of Flemish joy; modern adaptations; and finally "The Fox Now." I appreciate particularly the inclusion of three explicit depictions of the castration of the priest by the captured cat. My! The cover illustration, also on 10, sets the tone perfectly for this book's playful presentation. My hat is off to the creators of this little book. They brought me, with help from Google-Translate, to spend some delightful time learning about Reynard!Language note: DutchNiels Schalle
Reynard the Fox
No full textThe introduction opines that the Reynard story descends from Roman times, from Aesop's 'Fable of the Sick Lion.' I had not read or heard that opinion before. Hastings' introduction also notes that the first complete translation of the Reynard stories into English was Caxton's from the Dutch in 1481. She bases this presentation on that version. The enjoyable illustrations are unmistakable Percy as I have come to know his style from various fable books. The story begins with a series of complaints to the lion king by various beleaguered animals in a group: the fox is a thief and a murderer. The various summonses to Reynard ensue, with the usual results. Tibert bites the priest on the hand when Tibert is trapped in the priest's barn. Malepardus is a very impressive medieval castle here! The dress of the various animals is medieval. King Lion calls Reynard to trial, and he is condemned to death. Just before his hanging, he mentions supposed riches that he has from supposedly stopping his rebellious father. King Lion is interested in the money and pardons him. Bruin and Isegrim are so outraged that they complain--and are soon thrown into jail for treason. At a major feast honoring Reynard--although in absentia--Laprell and Corbaut show up complaining of fresh outrages they have suffered from Reynard. King Lion turns again and prepares to lay seige to Malepardus. Grimbard runs to warn Reynard. Reynard first brings himself before the king and declares his innocence. Laprell and Corbaut are old enemies, he says, who have slandered him. He challenges any accuser to fight. Isegrim steps up. They prepare to meet in single combat. Reynard has himself clipped and oiled by his aunt, Ape Dame Rukenaw. Reynard tires out the larger Isegrim and finally hits him hard on the back of the neck. King Lion declares Reynard victorious and innocent. People turn quickly to congratulate Reynard. He gets home and resolves to better his life until his glance falls on two unwary edible travellers….This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)First U.S. editionRetold by Selina Hasting
Reynard the Fox
No full textFirst, it is very nice to see a book dedicated to an old friend, Jill Mann! Secondly, it is great to encounter a Reynard book that offers an illustration of a number of the fables told in the book. That page here is 177, and it includes "The Horse and the Wolf"; "The Horse and the Hart"; "The Man and the Snake"; "The Dog and the Ass"; and "The Wolf and the Crane." Those are stories one could supposedly see in Reynard's magic mirror, as the text on 179-84 lays out. Simpson helps the reader with good summaries of the sections and chapters. Thus Part V reads "Reynard the Fox bamboozles and distracts the court with elaborate stories of nonexistent precious objects" (169). Another helpful element is found just before the text itself begins: an "Animal Dramatis Personae" lists the major and minor players and describes the relation of each to Reynard. The two major relations are "victim" and "friend." Cuwaert the Hare for example has this beside his name: "eaten by Reynard." I think a person could have a lot of fun with this book!First, it is very nice to see a book dedicated to an old friend, Jill Mann!

Reynard the Fox
No full textHere is an unusual find! This is a script adapted from Gestes de Renart le Goupil. The Anchorage Press specializes in plays for children, many of which are listed in advertisements on the verso of the front cover and on both sides of the back cover. This play has four scenes, one for each of the seasons, with an added prologue and epilogue. A quick check showed that the typical Reynard fables play a strong role here. Much of the early action between Reynard and Tiecelin concerns a piece of cheese. Soon Reynard is telling Brun the bear that he cannot say anything about bad smells because he has a cold. I would love to see this play performed sometime! Costume and make-up designs were done by Irene Corey. Each mention of Anchorage, KY, includes the word Cloverlot. I checked The Anchorage Press and was pleasantly surprised to see that they are still going strong. Copies of this play are available from them for 50. Here is their description of the play: Brought to trial for his offenses against the other animals, Reynard is given a year of probation, in which to mend his ways. But the playful Fox cannot resist the opportunity to trick his fellows, and accumulates a long list of misdeeds before the year is half up. Enraged by this, the Wolf and the Bear lead a conspiracy against him, and actually have the noose around his neck when the hunters close in, trapping all the animals. Terror-struck, each one schemes only for his own safety. It is Reynard who contrives a way to save their lives.Original language: freArthur Fauquez; Translation by Marie-Louise Roelant
