Publisher's Synopsis
This is the third of the new Bremen editions of heroic epics related to Dietrich von Bern. The texts of >Alpharts Tod< (late 13th century) and >Dietrich und Wenezlan< (13th century) are given in a form that reflects the course of their transmission. Modern punctuation has been added. >Alpharts Tod< centres on the killing of Dietrich's follower Alphart by Heime and Witege, >Dietrich und Wenezlan< on the fight between Dietrich von Bern and King Wenezlan. Errors and gaps in the manuscripts are documented. Commentaries on selected passages facilitate access to the texts.
