The Marner
The Marner (illustration from the Codex Manesse )
The Marner (* 13th century in Swabia ; †?) Was a traveling poet and singer who shows a solid school education in his texts. According to Rumelant von Sachsen , he went blind in old age and was murdered before 1287 , probably during the interregnum . He wrote Minneieder , later also gnomish poems . He also left five Latin poems .
The medium high German noun marner derives from the medium latin adjective marinarius (to lat. Mare, -RIS n. Sea) and means sailor . The first names Konrad, Ludwig or Hans Ludwig are a later addition by the Meistersang of the 15th and 16th centuries, where Marner was counted among the twelve old masters . The actual name is not known.
