, Nibelungenlied' [German]

In this eleven-volume complete transcription of the 'Ambraser Heldenbuch, ' all texts appear in the original Early High German for the first time. A transcription that is faithful to individual characters used by the scribe is synoptically juxtaposed with the manuscript image. A second, diplomatic transcription is arranged by verses and numbered according to established editions. The lavishly illustrated manuscript of almost 250 parchment folios, commissioned by Emperor Maximilian I at the beginning of the sixteenth century, is one of the most important sources of German narrative literature of the Middle Ages. Volume 6 contains the epic 'Nibelungenlied, ' which has survived in a total of 37 textual sources, many of which, however, are only fragments of manuscripts. The present transcription reproduces 32 of 39 âventiures of the 'Nibelungenlied.'
