Eberhard von Sax

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eberhard von Sax (kneeling) ( Codex Manesse , fol.48v)

Eberhard von Sax (1309 documented) from the noble family von Sax was like his uncle Heinrich von Sax a German minstrel. The Codex Manesse (49 rv ) contains a completely preserved praise of Mary and a fragmentary praise of Christ. He was a Dominican in the preaching monastery in Zurich and is identified by Rudolf Sillib and Ewald Jammers with an Eberhart pictor recorded in Constance in 1296 . Sillib argues with the Dominican tradition of the Advent image , which is here transformed into a literary dedication image . The described scroll in miniature is a typical element of a dedication or devotion picture. Eberhard von Sax dedicates his praise to Mary to the enthroned Mother of God. Sillib and Jammers identify him as the first supplement painter to the Codex Manesse, while Brinker does not consider this conclusion to be certain.

The Marienlob is in the tradition of Konrad von Würzburg . His motif of the goldsmith is taken up in the first stanza. In terms of content, primarily figurative Marian attributes and inability praise of the lyrical self are used to praise the Mother of God. In the last section there is an intercession . Claudia Brinker offers an interpretation and a modern translation.
