Hugo von Trimberg, (ca. 1230–ca. 1313) Der Renner, in German Austria, probably Tyrol, last quarter of the fifteenth century This lengthy poem, a collection of allegorical and moralizing tales drawn from the Bible, Aesop, bestiaries, and other sources, is titled Der Renner (The Runner), as Trimberg intended it to travel throughout Germany.
