Johannes Rothe's Ritterspiegel [Mirror of Chivalry] with its 4108
verses is the most comprehensive medieval knightly primer in
German. In all probability it was written for young nobles in the
context of Rothe's work as school head in Eisenach from 1414. Apart
from its significance for the history of literature as a didactic
poem, the work provides a rich source of information on the
cultural and legal history of chivalry. The Thuringian text has
been newly edited and translated; the commentary resolves
linguistic issues and historical references and elucidates the
source materials for the work.
