Egbert of Liège, in Latin: Ecbertus Leodiensis, was an 11th-century educator and author, working at the cathedral schoolinLiège (in what is now Belgium). His main work, produced around 1023, is an educational collection entitled Fecunda Ratis ("The Richly Laden Ship"), divided into two parts, the "Prora" (Prow), containing proverbs and classical and secular stories, and the "Puppis" (Poop deck) with extracts from biblical and patristic writers.[1] The collection contains the earliest known precursor of the Little Red Riding Hood story, entitled "De puella a lupellis servata".[2] A critical edition of the Fecunda RatisbyErnst Voigt was published in the series Monumenta Germaniae Historica in 1889. An English translation by Robert Gary Babcock has been published as book 25 in the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library (Harvard University Press, 2013). An extract describes the origins of the red riding hood:[3]
