The subject of the volume is the Jena Manuscript, created around
1350 and restored in 2008, the most important manuscript for the
transmission of German Sangspruchdichtung and its melodies. The
volume contains contributions on the restoration itself, on
questions of the location of the manuscript in linguistic and
literary history, on the arrangement of the codex and it notation
practice. In addition, it documents those manuscript fragments
which research has connected with the history of the genesis of the
Jena Manuscript on the basis of the stage of their linguistic
development and the texts they contain.
This volume assembles the findings of the 14th Anglo-German
colloquium on German medieval literature. The 22 contributions all
revolve around the subject of "Author and Authorship," a theme very
much in the foreground of discussion in present-day medieval
literary studies. Most of the articles are case studies and draw on
texts from the whole gamut of German medieval literature to discuss
such issues as the relation between performance, textuality and
authorship, the functional status of author's names and author's
pictures in manuscript traditions, a historically adequate concept
of authorship, the various roles played by authors and the specific
profiles these roles display in different genres.
