AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The first illustrated Wilde edition of the the German fable 'Reynard the Fox', a story dating back to the Middle Ages and preserved through a series of publications beginning with a 1498 edition published in Lubeck in Low German. Subsequent editions about this wily character appeared in High German throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, and Goethe adapted the story in his verse epic of the same name. The Wilde edition offered here includes 40 wood-cut illustrations and is composed in Baroque style using Alexandrine verse.

This edition was probably published in 1660. The book is need of repair; a number of signatures are detaching. Despite that the book is complete.
