FERNÁNDEZ RIVA, G. y MILLET, V. Hartmann von Aue: Der arme Heinrich. Textgeschichtliche elektronische Ausgabe. Universitätsbibliothek, Heidelberg, 2018

El poema narrativo de finales del siglo xii Der arme Heinrich, atribuído a Hartmann von Aue, se conserva en su totalidad en tres manuscritos y de forma parcial en varios pequeños fragmentos. En estos testimonios, si bien es cierto que la historia contada es en esencia la misma, se pueden apreciar importantes variantes así como transposiciones de versos, añadidos y eliminaciones que afectan a su comprensión y que a menudo pasan desapercibidas en los libros tradicionales. La edición electrónica Der arme Heinrich digital[1] pretende sacar provecho de las posibilidades que ofrece la tecnología para mostrar de una forma precisa la pluralidad y diversidad textual y facilitar su percepción. En esta reseña se describirá y estudiará lo que esta nueva herramienta pone a nuestro alcance.[1] https://doi.org/10.11588/edition.ahd

Stabreimende Wortpaare im Minnesang (neben Hartmann, Walther und Wolfram)

Building on studies on alliterating word-pairs in Old and Early Middle High German (including early Minnesang poets, Gotfried von Straßburg, Hartmann von Aue, Walther von der Vogelweide und Wolfram von Eschenbach), this study collects and analyses the remaining Minnesang poets of the Classic Period (Des Minnesangs Frühling), tracing the use of extant and the emergence of new alliterating word-pairs while establishing their literary rhetorical context. Thus, the early history of the German alliterating word-pairs is extended within the Middle High German era.

Der ›Weg‹ der Erzählung

How do narrators of courtly romance use the semantics of ›Weg‹ (path, journey)? Building on numerous publications on the Weg-topic, this study ›The Path of Narration. Observations on Hartmann von Aue and Courtly Literature‹ discusses how authors, particularly Hartmann von Aue, use ›Weg‹ as code for storytelling. This can be linked to forms of semantic usage which reflect the process of reception, particularly in the case of Wolfram von Eschenbach, and those which describe a change in the semantics of value, particularly in the case of Gottfried von Straßburg.

Means of Language Objectification of the German Knight Image in the Artistic Picture of World in Middle Ages

The analysis of historical, culturally motivated ideas about the German knight, which are objectified in the language not only in conventional, unified standards, but primarily in socio-ethnocultural assessments and stereotypes, is presented. The material of the study was German knightly novels: “Tristan” (“Tristan”) by Gottfried of Strasbourg, “Poor Heinrich” (“Der arme Heinrich”) by Hartmann von Aue, “Eneasroman” by Heinrich von Veldeke. Particular attention is paid to the study of indicators of the national specificity of the image of the German knight. It is proved in the work that the actualization of lexical units that serve to represent the image of a knight is largely specific and due to the genre specificity of Western European literature texts of the Middle Ages. It is stated that the knowledge of medieval German culture bearers about the surrounding reality, objectified by the semantics and pragmatics of linguistic and speech units, structures, compositions, united as a whole by the characteristics of the surrounding world are accumulated in the artistic picture of the world in the Middle Ages. It is concluded that the image of a knight embodies the complex of worldview coordinates and values of the knightly estate, which are recorded in a verbal (artistic) text in the form of a specially organized system of knowledge and ideas about the world.

Stabreimende Wortpaare in Wolframs “Willehalm”, “Titurel” und in seiner Lyrik

This study presents a first-time complete accounting and analysis of the alliterating word-pairs in Wolfram’s “Willehalm,” “Titurel,” and his poetry, representing the completion of a project to survey Wolframs’ complete oeuvre. Each pair is described philologically within the work in which it appears, relevant earlier or parallel occurrences are noted, and on occasion the further life of the pair is discussed. A complete listing integrates the 98 pairs from “Parzival.” This rounds out studies of the major Middle High German classical works of courtly literature, cataloguing Wolfram’s use of the rhetorical device following similar studies of Hartmann von Aue and Gottfried von Strassburg.
