The Hundeshagens handwriting (also Hundeshagenscher Codex ) is an illuminated manuscript of the Nibelungenlied . It is named after a previous owner, Bernhard Hundeshagen . It is written in the East Swabian dialect .

origin

The manuscript on paper dates from around 1440. The book format is a small folio. It contains 37 miniatures and is the only historically illustrated illuminated manuscript of the Nibelungenlied. It was found in Mainz and came through several previous owners to the master builder Christian von der Emden , who looked after it carefully and only presented it to interested parties for high payment on an "altar in the candlelight". Bernhard Hundeshagen was employed by Christian van Emden and acquired the manuscript. He restored it over many years. However , he was unable to complete a planned facsimile print. On November 21, 1867, it came to the Royal Library in Berlin, today the Berlin State Library , and it bears the signature mgf 855.
