The interest of The Coronation of Renard lies not so much in its literary value, which is rather slight, as in the fact that, like Renard le Nouvel and Renard le Contrefait, it is linked to this very important work, the Roman de Renard. We thought that such a link sufficiently authorized us to procure a new edition of The Coronation, that of Méon (1826) having long since been out of print. ... Manuscript 1446 from the French collection of the Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris [Bibliothèque Nationale de France, fr. 1446] is the only one that has preserved The Coronation of Renard for us. - [Author]
