Small 4to 7-3/4 x 5-7/8 inches. The first of two Frankfurt printings by David Zöpfel that year using the same woodcuts. The text is descended from the Low German version Reynke de Vos first printed at Lübeck in 1498. <br /> <br /> Among the most widely adapted of the beast fables the tales of Reynard the Fox originated in the 12th and 13th centuries with early versions in French Dutch Latin and German being notable. One of the most important secular literary traditions of the Middle Ages Reynard the Fox is at its essence biting satire and parody. The character of Reynard an anthropomorphic fox and trickster has since become almost an archetype in the literatures of many languages. "The supreme 'anti-hero' of medieval fiction" Cambridge Guide to Children's Books in English.<br /> <br /> This copy from the renowned library of the eminent British architect and book collector Sir William Tite 1798-1873 whose sale at Sotheby's in May-June 1874 took sixteen days certainly one of the greatest collections of the time.

First edition as first published in serial form from April 1 through May 15 1928 in "la Revue universelle". This fantastic science fiction novel concerns the theme of the shrinking man. Maurice Renard 1875-1939 has been until recently little known outside the French speaking world. This probably was the result of a lack of translations available to English speakers. The work at hand is an early scientific novel on the theme of miniaturization.<p>Also in this run of the journal is the first publication of the French translation of PORGY by DuBose Hayward. The translation is the work of Denyse Clairouin 1900-1945 a translator and a French Resistance fighter. She was arrested in 1943 and deported to Ravensbruck and later to Mauthausen where she died in March 1945. Porgy is serialized from August 1 - September 15 1928.<p>In addition to these two important works the journals at hand contain: Two articles by Knud Rasmussen "Chez les Esquimaux" and "Chez les Esquimaux: sorcellerie et superstions"; letters of Marcel Proust to Paul Brach; "La Sauvagine" by Joseph d'Arbaud; "La Vie et les amours d'Edgar A. Poe" in 2 parts by Emile Lauvriere and "Un document sur le Bolchevisme" by Nikolai Ivanovich Bukharin. Paris: Revue universelle, January 1 - December 15, 1928. paperback

Circulating from the 12th-century and derived in part from Aesop Reynard the Fox is one of the most popular and enduring beast-epics. Reynard the Fox is a collection of fables that originated in medieval Europe and the exact authorship is unknown. The stories were likely passed down orally before being written down in various versions over the centuries. The fables with the wily fox as a central character lent themselves to satire and it became a vehicle used by the Protestant reformers and others. The Low-German version first appeared at Lubeck in 1498 and the Rostock editions which followed from 1517 facilitated the spread of the epic towards the east. The woodcuts had previously illustrated the 1539 Rostock edition of which 36 are attributed to Erhard Altdorfer. Stylistically they depend on the first Lubeck and Rostock editions. </em> hardcover
