Dear Luc,

Merci BEAUCOUP de votre aide. Dank je voor je help. (My Dutch is
probably
much worse than your French, er zijn heel weinig fouten in je vertaling/
il
y a très peu d'erreurs dans cette traduction). I wondered if in some
occurrences "willen" could not be translated by the future instead of
"vouloir"? I also wondered if there was still any current dialect closer
to
Middle Dutch than Standard Dutch? I didn't know about the Dutch origin
of
Renart (Reynaert) either. I thought it was French. Never mind, anyway,
That
which we call a fox, by any other name...

Cordialement/groetjes

Patricia,

I am not sure anybody is really knows how far back the story of the
naughty fox goes.  There is also a Middle Low Saxon (Low German)
version, from the time at which the international Low-Saxon-speaking
Hanseatic Trading League was at the pinnacle of its power.  The oldest
surviving edition I am aware of is _Reynke de vos_, printed in Lübeck
(*the* Hanseatic center) in 1498.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
