In the seventeenth century Den grooten ende nieuwen Reinart de voss was written, a Dutch adaptation of the first part of the Low German Reynke de vos that had been published by Ludwig Dietz in Rostock in 1539. The anonymous author transposed the Low German text into Dutch iambic verses and added an enormous commentary, the most learned commentary in the whole European Reynaert tradition. This article studies the relation between Den grooten ende nieuwen Reinart de voss and its source, its properties, and its literary and cultural context. At the end the results are put in a European perspective.

Muscovy and the kingdoms of Western Christianity differed considerably in their ideology of power and the imagery expressing that ideology as Muscovy was part of the Orthodox community. Examination of early seventeenth-century English examples of symbolic political theology elucidates these differences, especially as to the female personification of sovereignty and ‘nation’, at a time when the female personification of “Russia” was just becoming manifest in Russian literary and ceremonial sources.

Published in 1597, the Herball of John Gerard was instantly recognised as an essential medical treatise. It was substantially revised and extended in a new edition published in 1633. As the most extensive and up-to-date statement on matters medical, there can be no doubt that Gerard’s Herball must have been a go-to manual during the civil wars. Yet the role it played in the treatment of the soldiery and general populace has yet to be told. This chapter analyses a surviving copy of the Herball, and its seventeenth-century ownership and usage by the royalist family, the Coopers of Thurgarton. An analysis of the numerous annotations it includes and the conditions they identify, argues that this artefact was used to inform treatments for those suffering ailments commonly associated with seventeenth-century siege warfare, and in this instance, the sieges of Newark in particular.
