The Library of Wit and Humor, Prose and Poetry, Selected From the Literature of All Times and Nations, Vol. 4 (Classic Reprint), Excerpt from The Library of Wit and Humor, Prose and Poetry, Selected From the Literature of All Times and Nations, Vol. 4 The story of Reynard the Fox, here presented to the American public in the Translation of Mr. Arnold, is one which has been famous for centuries. The earliest edition known of this remarkable work is preserved in the Grenville Library at the British Museum, and is supposed to be a unique © it is a black letter octavo in Dutch, and was printed at Gouda, near Rotterdam, in 1479. upon this work was based the translation of William Caxton, published in 1481. This first English Reynard is also extremely rare, only three copies being known, of which two are in the British Museum; it is, however, easy of reference, having been reprinted by the Percy Society in 1844. The first German version was published at Lübeck in 1498, but the origin of the legend is much more remote, the poem having been known in Low German, French, and Latin, even in the twelfth century. At the present day, it is impossible to trace the authorship of the oldest version, referred by some to Willem die Matoc; but a Reinhart Fuchs is still preserved, dating about the middle of the thirteenth century, and it would seem that the earliest traces of the Poem must be sought in Flanders, where the nucleus of the series of adventures was formed. Henry von Alkmar, who was in the service of the Duke of Lorraine, is stated, in the preface to the Lübeck Edition, to be the first who translated the story from the Italian and French into German; but other authorities refer the authorship to a certain Nicholas Baumann, who died at Rostock in 1526, and the motive of his writing the Poem is stated to have been revenge for the persecution with which he was visited at the Court of Jülich. Yet the story was evidently not of his invention, therefore he must only be regarded as one of the numerous editors. Its earliest public seems to have been the same which received with avidity the Eulenspiegel legend, the Lay of the Niebelungen, the Ship of Fools of Sebastian Brandt, and similar productions - and in its general satiric views of mankind it belongs especially to the grotesque school which has given to Germany some of its most enduring fictions. its celebrity, however, is European; and, translated into almost every language, it has become a native of many lands. Such a work to be adequately represented to the present age, required the hand of a master who should unite with the grave wi6dom of the acute and experienced man of the world, the happy and playful facility of the better kind of critic; such a combination presented itself in Goethe: such a book the product naturally to be expected. The enlarged views of later centuries blend most opportunely with the antique form, and under the veil of animals the symbolic representations of the diverse passions of men stand boldly in relief, creations as real as many passing forms which, like minor-shadows, endure not. This is, however, no place for entering upon the criticism of a poem like the Reynard of Goethe which was published in 1793, while the French Revolution was at its height, a hiting commentary on that fearful time. books of such significance descend into the depths of the soul without the dead weight of the critic´s laudation being attached to them. One of the specialities of the present edition consists in the reproduction, for the first time in this country, of the wonderful engravings of Kaulbach, who seized upon the spirit of Goethe´s design, and assumed with a happy facility the mood, which, as by a witch´s spell, transformed men into their brute synonyms. Reared into artistic power, under the careful eye of Cornelius, Wilhelm von Kaulbach was one of the foremost men of Germany in art. At an ear!y period he distinguished himself in sarcastic and humoresque drawing, and it would be curious to know whether t, Taschenbuch, 03.07.2015.
