Dietrich von der Glesse

Dietrich von der Glesse , also Glezze or Gletze or Klesse or Gleese , was a German-language poet in the second half of the 13th century .

Origin and work

origin

His exact life dates as well as his origin are unknown, it is assumed that he came from the northern Alemannic language area. Its name is probably derived from the historical town of Klessengrund in Lower Silesia .

His only work is Der Borte ( mhd. ), The Belt , which was handed down in two collective manuscripts in the catalog of the Codices Palatini germanici : Cod. Pal. germ. 4 , sheets 198r – 208v, and Cod. Pal. Germ. 341 , sheets 232v-238r. Another manuscript is now in Codex Bodmer 72 (1st quarter of the 14th century) in the Bibliotheca Bodmeriana in Geneva, as well as a fragment in Klagenfurt. The border is an erotic narrative with clearly sexual allusions and homoerotic allusions , which were rare in Germany in the Middle Ages , which was created in the service of Wilhelm von Wîdenâ (around 1290), the son of the bailiff of Weidenau . The underlying plot is perhaps based on the ancient Greek myth of Cephalos and Prokris .

A few years ago, Triumph International is said to have advertised its products with this excerpt from the artist's work:

The throat so white and pure

that you can get the red wine

Saw ivory running through her bosom

the one from two blissful hills

was educated; that hardly a band would like to curb .
