Text und Ubersetzung (v. 1) (Ulrich von Zatzikhoven: Lanzelet) - Hardcover

"Kragl's edition will provide this and future generations of scholars a treasure trove of information, both textual and critical, for the study of Ulrich's Lanzelet."Thomas Kerth in: Journal of English and Germanic Philology 7/2008 "In sum, this is an extremely useful and eminently usable contribution to Lanzelet scholarship."Nicola McLelland in: Modern Language Review 1/2008 "Der Poeta minor wird hier mit einer Ausgabe gewurdigt, die keine Wunsche offen lasst. Sie notigt um so grossere Bewunderung ab, wenn man erfahrt, dass sie innerhalb von drei Jahren erarbeitet und zum Druck gebracht wurde."Ralf-Henning Steinmetz in: Germanistik 1-2/ 2007 "Kragl has sifted carefully through what seems to be everything ever written about Lanzelet and has presented that information is an extremely coherent, highly readable, and useable fashion. [...] As such, both literatur review and notes to the text will be obligatory reading for anyone undertaking research on this romance."Joseph M. Sullivan in: Arthuriana 2007 "Nun ist eine zweibandige Ausgabe erschienen, die philologisch allen Anspruchen genugt, die man vernunftigerweise an ein solches Unterfangen stellen kann, die sorgfaltig und umfangreich kommentiert ist und deren Apparat die bisherige Forschung gut erschliesst."Tilman Spreckelsen in: Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung Dezember 2006"

This edition of "Ulrich von Zatzikhofen's Lanzelet" replaces the old edition by Karl August Hahn and thus fulfils a long-felt need in German Medieval Studies. In contrast to Hahn's procedure of using the (somewhat sparse) texts to construct a definitive singular critical text, the present edition devotes more attention to the individual manuscript. At the same time it is intended to provide an easily readable text specifically designed for literary scholars; users with linguistic and codicological interests are catered for by the provision of exact transcriptions of the manuscript and reproductions of the extant media (on a CD-ROM). A very close translation is designed to facilitate access to the Middle High German text. This new edition is completed with a research report, a textual commentary, a complete research bibliography, and various indexes.
