[caption id="attachment_105" align="alignright" width="173"] Reinardus, cover 2012[/caption]The peer-reviewed journal Reinardus aims to promote comparative research in the fields of medieval comic, satirical, didactic, and allegorical literature, with emphasis on beast epic, fable and fabliau, including sources, influences and later developments into the modern period. Moreover, Reinardus is the only journal entirely devoted to the study of the animals in the Middle Ages. Its main topic is about literature and fable, but one could find many other papers on various subjects concerning the history of animal during medieval times. The table of contents of the last issue of the journal (24, 2012) shows the great variety of these topics, including menageries, bestiaries, encyclopaedias, animal names, etc.Table of contentsLes fables en rondeau de Charles de Saint-Gilles Lenfant: l’exercice de style d’un mousquetaire du roiAntonella Amatuzzi, 1 – 20Éléments pour une comparaison du trickster Renart avec le renard dans la tradition littéraire chinoiseMassimo Bonafin, 21 – 28The problem of the Transitional Family of bestiariesIlya Dines, 29 – 52Hersent et la pluralité des perspectives dans Le Roman de RenartGian Paolo Giudicetti, 53 – 76Une ménagerie princière entre Moyen Âge et Renaissance: La Cour des Lions à Gand de 1421 à 1641Daniel Lievois and Baudouin Van den Abeele, 77 – 107Oaths and Asseverations in Dame SirithLuke William Mills, 108 – 130Les noms et les choses: Quelques exemples animaliersPaolo Rinoldi, 131 – 151Les éléments provençaux dans le Viridarium encyclopédique de Jean Raynaud (vers 1382–1385 - après 1416)Max Schmitz, 152 – 182Contextualising the Crane in the Fabliau Cele qui fu foutue et desfoutueKathryn L.
