This study critically examines previous approaches to textual
criticism and editorship, and using the "Parzival" ms. Cgm 19 and
the "Tristan" ms. Cgm51 develops the argument that every medieval
version of a text possesses inherent value and represents the
cultural knowledge of its age and that this can only be appreciated
if divergent mss. are not simply seen as deficient variants of an
'original text'.Through an analysis of the historical contexts of
text function, Baisch defines the origins, status, and function of
textual variation in the medieval vernacular transmission of texts
and provides a methodology for joining edition and
interpretation.He sees textual criticism as a functional history of
the transmission of medieval texts.The study makes an important
contribution to the present lively debate on the principles of
modern editorship and the medieval concept of text.
