Niune
Presumably Niune (also Mr. Niuniu , Neune ) is a traveling singer whose songbook has been recorded in various manuscripts. There is no documentary evidence of a bearer of the name. Research places it in the first half of the 13th century.
To tradition
Under the name Niune, a corpse and 60 song stanzas have come down to us in the Kleiner Heidelberger Liederhandschrift (A, Bl. 21 v -24 v ) . The corpse and the first seven stanzas can also be found in the same order in the Codex Manesse (C, fol . 319 r -319 v ).
In A and C, most of the texts are assigned to other authors in parallel. The songs assigned to Neidhart can also be found in the Riedegger manuscript (R) and in the Berlin manuscript (c). Nine stanzas alone (in bold in the table) are preserved exclusively in the Niune corpus, but an author of this name is not allowed.

To the body
The text corpus is primarily characterized by its heterogeneity . Neither in terms of content nor form can there be found a lot of similarities that would suggest an author. In addition to the ornate genre of the Minneleich, there are both ancient and obscene texts. Ten of the 25 texts consist of only one stanza. In addition to numerous lamentations of love, there are also women's and daily songs. Especially the variety of songs supports the theory that it was in Niune a wandering minstrel or fiddler is, whose repertoire book contains (possibly edited) texts of other singers.
