The Maetschappy der Vlaemsche Bibliophilen, was a text publication society based in Ghent, Belgium. The society was founded in 1839 to produce editions of medieval Flemish literature. It was active until 1909. By current scholarly standards, the quality of the editions shows little palaeographical and codicological expertise, and nowadays remain rare.
