Scarce 1681-1701 edition of this immensely popular medieval "beast fable." Speculation remains unresolved as to whether France or Germany lays claim to the development of the legend. In 1481 William Caxton was the first to print an English translation.

One of the earliest obtainable English editions of the popular legend, this with copious woodcuts. A fine, clean copy, exquisitely bound. MENKE, (Bibliotheca Reinardiana), pp. 230-31; WING, S3512, S3436 (attributed to John Shirley).
