The Millstatter Exodus, a German epic of the twelfth century, is a
poetic version of the opening chapters of the book of Exodus,
treating the events of the early life of Moses and culminating in
the crossing of the Red Sea and the destruction of the Hebrews'
pagan enemies. In form it represents the second attempt at a
biblical epic on the large scale after the revival of German
vernacular literature in the late eleventh century. Professor Green
analyses the Millstatter Exodus in form and in context. He compares
it with its predecessor, the Wiener Genesis, and with its biblical
source, throwing light on the early development of the German epic
in the twelfth century and on the poetic intentions of the author
of the Exodus. Professor Green believes that the Millstatter Exodus
can best be understood allegorically against the background of the
crusading movement, and he shows that it is one of the first
literary attempts in Germany to come to terms with the crusades and
the problem of Christian warfare.
