Die 'Parzival'-Überlieferung am Ausgang des Manuskriptzeitalters
Handschriften der Lauberwerkstatt und der Straßburger Druck
[The Transmission of ‘Parzival’ at the End of the Manuscript Age. Manuscripts from the workshop of Diebold Lauber and the Strasbourg Printing]
Series:Quellen und Forschungen zur Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte 55 (289)
Aims and Scope
The outstanding literary significance of Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival is due in no small part to the fact that this romance from the courtly golden age was still being repeatedly copied at the close of the Middle Ages and was even printed. The monograph examines four manuscripts and early prints from this time of transition in written media in the 15th century; on the one hand, the texts prove significant for textual history through their dependence on the early version *m, largely neglected now, and on the other, the novel layouts used are expressive of their epoch.

"Die sorgfältige Darstellung von Parallelfassungen und die minutiösen Detailanalysen bieten neue und willkommene Grundlagen für die ‹Parzival›-Forschung."
Katharina Mertens in: Mittellateinisches Jahrbuch Universität Kiel 46.3/ 2011
"The results are not only of significance for the textual history in a narrow sense; a detailed analysis of initials, headings, and captions provides an important new basis for understanding the articulation of the text as a major factor in medieval mauscript culture."

"Die beiden Autoren haben, ohne die Theoriediskussion zu vernachlässigen, an unterschiedlichem Material unterschiedliche Wege v. a. praktisch erprobt und dabei die Probleme der Text- und Überlieferungsgeschichte sowie der fassungskriterien explizit und implizit deutlich werden lassen."
Bernd Schirok in Zeitschrift für Deutsche Philologie 130 (2011)
