Konrad von Megenberg, canon of Regensburg cathedral, wrote his
ABook of NatureA between 1348 and 1350. It has come down to us in
approx. 150 manuscripts, which makes it one of the most popular
vernacular encyclopedias of the late Middle Ages. Konrad had a
Latin version of Thomas of CantimprA(c)'s ALiber de natura rerumA
at his disposal, which he translated into German, adapting and
extending it and also re-accentuating certain aspects of the work.
This is the first critical edition of version A. It replaces Franz
Pfeiffer's valuable 1861 edition. At a later stage, it will be
supplemented by an introduction (Vol. I), a commentary (Vol. III)
and a dictionary (Vol. IV).
