Description
The Romance of Reynard the Fox in French verse. Illustrated with 11 small (column width) full color paintings, plus one marginal image. The illustrations are the start of each of the 12 fables, except the first one, suggesting there may be a folio missing at the start. Three of the illustrations do not involve animals (a woman reading, the wheel of fortune, a castle).
