Almost 100 years ago, an inconspicuous little book appeared in Holland: Reynardus Vulpes. Poem ante annum 1280 a quodam Baldwino e lingua teutonica translatum by M. F. A. G. Campbel. Although the title page already indicated a valuable reprint, the Latin poem has not received the attention it deserves, since Campbell had dispensed with it. W. Knorr attempted to correct the erroneous incunabula; his Reinardus vulpes was published in Eutin in 1860. Apart from a grammatical and stylistic evaluation of the Latin text by E. Schulze, the work has left no notable traces in the specialist literature. It is unlikely that the political and economic turmoil of the following decades is responsible for this. In any case, one must regret that research has not sufficiently utilized, clarified, and evaluated this new source. I intend to somewhat rectify this and draw the attention of scholars. - [Author]
