This paper deals with the representation given in the late Reynard the fox cycle of adventures. It tackles the manuscripts of Renart le Nouvel and Le Roman de Renart le Contrefait. This cycle stands out from traditional fox’s adventures because it introduces allegory as well as a strong tendency to satire and raising of moral standards. The iconography concerning Reynard particularly holds our attention. The wish is clearly to move away from tradition and to present new episodes, including allegorical ones. Our analysis concerns the way the iconography accompanies these profound changes. - [Abstract]
