Fabulous Friday

What would one show in a series called Fabulous Friday? Well, fables of course! So, for our first set of fables in the series, we present The Most Delectable History of Reynard the Fox, Newly Corrected and Purged from all Grossness in Phrase and Matter. When I first encountered this book in our collection, quite by happenstance, I thought I was looking at an early 16th-century imprint, but in fact it was printed in 1701 for Edward Brewster in London. That was a little surprising; why would an early 18th-century book be printed to look like a 15th- or 16th-century book? It turns out there was something of a tradition in printing the English-language Reynard in facsimile and using the same late 15th-century cuts for the following two centuries.

William Caxton, of course, was the first to print an English translation of Reynard in 1481, but it was his successor Wynkyn de Worde who first used woodcuts to illustrate his own edition of Reynard in the late 1490s. Those same woodcuts appear to have been used in subsequent editions well into the late 17th century. Edward Brewster was the last printer to own de Worde’s blocks, but by his time the blocks were too worn to be used properly. So, Brewster recut a new set based on de Worde’s original, and had his own initials “EB” carved into the image, as can be seen here.

Brewster published his first edition of Reynard with de Worde’s original blocks in 1662. His second edition of 1671 was the first to use the revised cuts, which continued to be used in subsequent editions of 1676, 1681, 1694, and finally our own edition of 1701. There are a few curious idiosyncrasies in our copy. Among them is that the cut in C1 is printed upside-down. This is also true in previous editions at least as far back as the 1681 edition. There appears to have been no attempt to correct the situation. Another is that the main text, set in a Gothic typeface, was printed on small sheets of paper, with little breathing room for margins. However, when marginalia needed to be added in a more contemporary Roman face, narrow strips of paper were adhered to the edge to increase the surface to be printed. In this way, the pages of the book have two different sizes intermixed throughout the book!

Idk why

But for a long time, I thought your pfp was like a scenery or something

But then I looked closer and went like

Oh... It's a silly cool character!

Which is so much better

Huh, I didn't think my pfp looks like scenery that's pretty cool! But nah, it's just me hanging out of a vent :]

*puts on my clown makeup*

okay, so I really do feel like we are slowly moving toward something here, like I swear, in that graveyard scene, you can see that Eddie wants to say something more, that he's holding something back

for so long, he's been chasing happiness for Christopher and himself, but things never work out, and Shannon died

and he went to her grave earlier, so she's in his thoughts, the fleeting nature of life, and here is Buck, someone he cares so much for, who he's so connected with, and he almost died too, so I think Eddie's just struggling so much, standing beside Buck in that cemetery, amongst the dead, and I think at that moment, he knows, that truth he's always known but was afraid to acknowledge, it sucker punches him looking at that grave, standing beside in place where you bury those you loved--a place, that if things had gone even slightly differently, he would be visiting Buck, though he wouldn't be above ground, but below instead

And now, Buck is talking about Natalia, and the truth is violent in how it rips at him, because he doesn't want to miss this chance, Buck had come back from the dead, maybe not just for him, but he'd found his way home, and death, it's a guarantee, a promise for everyone, and Buck could leave him again, today, tomorrow, a year from now

Death comes for everyone

And he's lost people before, had them stolen away, and he's just barely been given Buck back, and standing there, it might be unsaid for now, but I think something may have changed for him, been decided

Buck has always been there for him, always found his way back home, but someday, he might not, and he doesn't want to lose him again, not a moment, life is fleeting, death comes too easy, and it's already taken enough

so yeah, I think Eddie's done wasting time, it may not be easy, but I think he might be ready to find his words
