Het middel Nederlandse epische gedicht 'Vanden Vos Reinaerde' is een meesterwerk uit de 13e eeuw dat de spanningen tussen belofte en bedrog onderzoekt door de avonturen van de sluwe vos Reinaert. De tekst, gekenmerkt door zijn satirische en maatschappijkritische toon, biedt een inkijkje in de middeleeuwse opvattingen over nobelheid en de morele ambiguïteit van de personages, waarbij dieren sterk antropomorfisch zijn uitgebeeld. De editor biedt in deze uitgave uitgebreide toelichtingen die de historische, linguïstische en culturele context belichten, wat het werk toegankelijker maakt voor moderne lezers en hen helpt om de diepere lagen van de tekst te begrijpen. Deze uitgave schetst ook de invloed van deze fabelachtige vertelling op de latere Europese literatuur, met vergelijkingen naar werken als 'De dieren van Aesopus'. De auteur van deze uitgave is een specialist in middeleeuwse literatuur, die zich heeft verdiept in de dialecten en vertelstructuren van de oudere Nederlandse teksten.

Door deze achtergrond is de auteur in staat geweest om een werk te presenteren dat de rijke traditie van het verhaal propageren en de blijvende relevantie van Reinaert in de context van hedendaagse ethiek te verkennen. Ik raad 'Vanden Vos Reinaerde: Uitgegeven en Toegelicht' van harte aan aan iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in middeleeuwse literatuur, dierenfabels en morele verhalen. De combinatie van poetische taal en de scherpe maatschappelijke observaties maakt het niet alleen geschikt voor literatuurstudies, maar ook voor een breder publiek dat de lagen van menselijke ervaringen tegenover dieren in onze cultuur wil verkennen. Dit boek biedt een uitgelezen kans om de complexiteit van menselijke relaties en morele dilemma's te begrijpen en biedt inzicht dat ook vandaag de dag toepasbaar is.

Series Title: Chap-books and folk-lore tracts ... First series. Vol. 3 (of 5) This chap-book is not a story. It is a collection of charms and dreams supposed to have been communicated by a personage bearing the name of Mother Bunch, a name unhistorical and, so far as I have been able to ascertain, unknown to any other department of literature. From the wording of its title, “Mother Bunch’s Closet Newly Broke Open,” there is evidence of the first part being a continuation of a chap-book already issued upon the same subject. For this we must refer to a jest-book first published in 1604, the title of which runs as follows: Pasquil’s Jests, mixed with Mother Bunche’s Merriments...... This book is a well-known collection of jests of a rather broad nature, and its style of composition lent itself to a continuation such as we have in the chap-book now under consideration. There is no other connection between the two publications than the title. The later editions of this chap-book differ considerably from that of 1685 in the Pepsyian Collection. Almost every page varies, and that too in no inconsiderable manner. It is not perhaps necessary to point out all the variations because they are not of great literary or historical interest, but it may be well to indicate the chief differences. The 1685 edition, as here printed, contains two parts. These in later editions are amalgamated, and the title on page 10, “The second part of Mother Bunch, who lived at Bonny Ventor in the West,” does not therefore appear. As a specimen of the later editions, the following is the opening passages of the 1780 edition, and other pages are similarly altered: “Mother Bunch’s Cabinet Broke Open.

Trinity College, officially the College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin, is the sole constituent college of the University of Dublin, a research university located in Dublin, Ireland. The college was founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I as the "mother" of a new university, modelled after the collegiate universities of Oxford and Cambridge, but unlike these other ancient universities, only one college was ever established; as such, the designations "Trinity College" and "University of Dublin" are usually synonymous for practical purposes. The college is legally incorporated by "the Provost, Fellows, Foundation Scholars and other members of the Board" as outlined by its founding charter. It is one of the seven ancient universities of Britain and Ireland, as well as Ireland's oldest surviving university. Trinity College is widely considered the most prestigious university in Ireland, in part due to its extensive history. In accordance with the formula of ad eundem gradum, a form of recognition that exists among the three universities, a graduate of Oxford, Cambridge, or Dublin can be conferred with the equivalent degree at either of the other two universities without further examination. Trinity College, Dublin is a sister college to St John's College, Cambridge and Oriel College, Oxford. Originally Trinity was established outside the city walls of Dublin in the buildings of the outlawed Catholic Augustinian Priory of All Hallows. Trinity College was set up in part to consolidate the rule of the Tudor monarchy in Ireland, and as a result was the university of the Protestant Ascendancy for much of its history. While Catholics were admitted from 1793, certain restrictions on membership of the college remained, as professorships, fellowships and scholarships were reserved for Protestants. These restrictions were lifted by Act of Parliament in 1873. However, from 1871 to 1970, the Catholic Church in Ireland, in turn, forbade its adherents from attending Trinity College without permission. Women were first admitted to the college as full members in January 1904. Trinity College is now surrounded by central Dublin and is located on College Green, opposite the historic Irish Houses of Parliament. The college proper occupies 190,000 m (47 acres), with many of its buildings ranged around large quadrangles (known as 'squares') and two playing fields. Academically, it is divided into three faculties comprising 25 schools, offering degree and diploma courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The Library of Trinity College is a legal deposit library for Ireland and Great Britain, containing over 6.2 million printed volumes and significant quantities of manuscripts, including the Book of Kells.
