A facsimile of the 1566 printing by Plantin of the Dutch Van den vos Reynaerde. Illustrated with woodcuts by Jehan de Gourmont after the drawings of Geoffroy Ballain, of Paris.

Given its remarkable rarity, its undeniable interest from the point of view of the study of the Fox novel, its particularly beautiful illustrations and its original typographical aspect, we believed that a facsimile of this remarkable book deserved to enter the series of editions of the Plantin-Moretus Museum. The present edition was therefore made from the Munich copy that the director of the State Library was kind enough to make available to us. It is not an anastatic reproduction. The layout and format have been preserved as much as possible and the characters, although not belonging to the collections of the Plantin Museum, are very similar to those used by the illustrious architographer. - [Introduction]
