Der Spruchdichter Boppe

This edition provides access to the work of a prominent 'minor' - and at the same time typical - representative of Middle High German Sangspruchdichtung from the second half of the 13th century. It reflects recent thinking on textual editing and text critique in that the standardized text takes each Spruch from a master manuscript, with any deviations from it being characterized as such. The edition ensures ultimate verifiability by means of the critical apparatus(es) and the reproduction of the form(s) in which the texts have been handed down to us. In addition, the translation and the commentary provide a seamless record of the editor's understanding/interpretation of the text.
