Master old value
Meister Altswert (active in the 2nd half of the 14th century ) was a German minstrel and teacher who probably came from Alsace , did not belong to the nobility and was probably vague . The four Minnereden or Minneallegories handed down by him, the old sword , the smock , the virtues treasure and the mirror correspond to the typical style of the time. Under the influence of Hadamar von Laber, they lament the decline of courtly customs and ministry .
