Hadewijch: Lieder

The Beguine poet Hadewijch is an outstanding figure in the history of 13 th century Dutch literature. Her oeuvre consists of letters, visions, and songs that share the theme of a mystical love of God. This complete edition of the songs presents for the first time the Middle Dutch texts with a New High German translation. These are accompanied by reconstructions of the melodies by the late musicologist Louis Peter Grijp and a detailed textual commentary.
