Nagler's fragment

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Naglersche fragment is one of two parchment leaves existing fragment of a fine medieval German song manuscript dating from around 1300. It is lyrically and artistically the Manesse closely related and dates like this from the Alemannic region. Zurich is a possible place of origin . However, the Manessian manuscript cannot have served as a template.

The fragment contains a full-page miniature of the minstrel Heinrich von Stretelingen , who is represented in the Manessian manuscript with an almost identical illustration. On the other sheet are fragments of text by the poet and minstrel Graf Kraft von Toggenburg , most likely Kraft I. († 1253) or Kraft II. († 1261). In the 15th century a Latin text about the Bohemian heresy was added.

The fragments used to be in the Berlin State Library (call number: mgo 125). The fragment, which was lost after the Second World War, was later found in Cracow (signature today: Bibl. Jagiellonska, Berol. Mgo 125). It was originally owned by the Prussian Minister of State and Postmaster General Karl Ferdinand von Nagler (1770–1846), whose library was incorporated into the Royal Library in Berlin in the 1830s .

The sheets are heavily trimmed and have a size of about 174 × 119 mm, the writing space is about 165 × 100 mm.
