First edition
of the new High-German translation in prose by Johann Christoph Gottsched
(1700-1766), professor in logic and metaphysics at Leipzig university. His translation was
based on the first German version, ascribed to Hendrik van Alkmaar (Lübeck, 1498) but in
Hackmann's re-edition under the title "Reineke de Vos mit dem Koker" (Wolfenbüttel, 1711;
see elsewhere in this catalogue) and also on the Rostock-edition of 1549.
The original version as edited in the incunabula-edition of 1498 from Lübeck (from which
only 1 complete copy preserved : Wolfenbüttel, Herzog August Library), is here added at
the end as a separate part. The present prose translation, with comments by Barckhusen,
is preceeded by an extensive literary and historical introduction by Gottsched and was used
by Goethe for his own Reynard version.
But the greatest quality and attraction of the present edition is the series of the 55 beautiful
copper-engravings after Allard van Everdingen (1621-1675), Dutch landscape painter,
reworked and augmented with 5 more engravings by Simon Fokke (1712-1784).

innkeeper at Braunschweig.
