Texte zur Geschichte der Altdeutschen Tierfabel

Abstract

This is 66-page booklet which happens to contain the same number of old German fables. The texts start with the ninth century C.E. and finish in the sixteenth century. The texts are well presented. Each is identified in Nachweise (54-65), which is followed by an AI of characters. It is a pleasure to meet old friends here, for example from Boner's Edelstein and from Steinhoewel. Several Latin verse and prose texts are interspersed with the German verse and prose. The series is published by Die Akademische Gesellschaft Schweizerischer Germanisten.
