Die mystische Lyrik des 14. und 15. Jahrhunderts

This work is the first to comprehensively examine the German mystical "lied" of the 14th and 15th centuries as a genre/type of text. One part is dedicated to analysis, concentrating primarily on the handwriting and places in which the mystical verse had its "social setting", the different forms in which it was handed down, and its themes and motives. This text genre is outlined as a new field of research using previously unpublished texts and an extensive reference work, the repertory of mystical verse. Key features: First comprehensive study of this genre Presents over 100 songs and their places of composition Repertorium opening up the genre as a research field
