Talk:Reynard the Fox

Dutch version
In Dutch highschool the Dutch version is held to be the original and the oldest. I'll look up from when it dates --Scafloc 21:47, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

A pointer to a full text of the story, would be useful. Anthony Appleyard 06:57, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Reynard and Reineke
I suggest somebody adds to Reynard a section about Reineke Fuchs (Goethe, and prior versions).

Fair use rationale for Image:MoiRenart02.jpg
Image:MoiRenart02.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Why the move?
Surely Reynard was a more appropriate title than Reynard cycle?--Michig (talk) 21:19, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Reynard is the main character of the Reynard cycle. The Reynard cycle is a mythos. Reynard is a character. The other main character, Isengrim, has his own artice. Since both the character and the mythos are of extreme literary significance, they deserve individual articles. "Reynard cycle" is a widely used name for the mythos. — The Man in Question (gesprec)  ·  (forðung)  11:27, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedians
I have some troubles with these translations: In dietsche onghemaket bleven had not been translated in Dutch In dietsche dus hevet begonnen. has he written it in Dutch.

I am sorry to tell you that dietsche isnt Dutch. Diets is a mix of german, dutch and english used in Holland around 500 to 1500 years ago
 * I don't know where that notion comes from, but it definitely meant "Dutch" at the time. Prinsgezinde (talk) 11:54, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

The picture opposing the "Anti-semitic version" section
This picture, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Reynard-the-fox.jpg, is placed opposing the text of the "Anti-Semitic version" section, even though the image is from a 19th Century version of the Reynard cycle entirely innocent of anti-Semitism. Since I'm not really up on the policies of picture placement, I will not presume to move it, but simply wait and hope that someone who is sees this message and eventually does something about it. It's not enormously important, but could give the wrong impression that this picture is from an anti-Semitic version of the tale.

I am a great fan of the cycle, and some might even be able to tell that from my nick, although the connection is slightly obscure. Muldrake (talk) 00:09, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Van den vos Reynaerde
Van den vos Reynaerde, (About Reynard the Fox) was an anti-semitic children's story, written by the Dutch-Belgian Robert van Genechten, and named after the mediaeval Dutch poem. Arguably the most important historic Flemish/Dietsch/Dutch literary work, yet an obscure nazi version gets more attention. That's about the same as writing "The Star-Spangled Banner is a racist song by the band Landser, named after a 19th century American poem."

 * I completely agree, this article is terrible. Unfortunately I know too little about the subject. --Larshei (talk) 18:53, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Translations
Reynard (French: Roman de Renart; German: Reineke-Zyklus; Dutch: Reinaertcyclus) is the subject of a literary cycle

The French, German and Dutch names given are all names for the cycle, not names for its subject as the way this is worded currently claims. 2.25.134.189 (talk) 00:40, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Goupil vs. Renart
The page mentioned that the old French "Goupil" was replaced by "Renart" because of the popularity of the Raynard cycle. This is mentioned by all introduction to the Raynard cycle but the pages was making the further assumption that this was because "goupil" was thought to bring bad luck. Although this is an interesting hypothesis, I never saw it mention elsewhere and I believe that, if someone wants to put it back, he needs to provide references for it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carmignac62 (talk • contribs) 16:54, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
