Rüdiger von Müner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rüdiger von Müner , also Rüdiger von Münner , Rüdiger von Munre , Rüdiger von Monre (late 13th to first half of the 14th century) was a German poet of the late Middle Ages .

Life

Little is known about his life. Müner (Monre in the Erfurt region) probably comes from Thuringia . His only surviving work is the poem Irregang and Girregar (around 1300/1310) consisting of 1450 verses .

In Rüdiger von Müner's student adventure, which comes from the old French, it is said: “You have ridden the Mar / an Elvish as.” (Here Mahr is male and stands for a nightmare.) The subject matter of Müners Irregang and Girregar is very similar to Chaucer's Short story The Reeve's Tale from The Canterbury Tales .

    'Irregang und Girregar' 'is a Märe of 1450 verses probably written around 1300 and transmitted in a single manuscript (Königsberg, Universitätsbibliothek 907 b), which was lost during World War II. The author, Rüdiger, who names himself at the beginning and the end of the text is otherwise unknown. Munre no longer exists, but historical notices place it in Thuringia. The dialect is, however, not Thuringian, but Rhine Frankish or Middle Frankish. This has led to the assumption that Rüdiger was born in Thuringia but moved west to Hesse and adopted the dialect of his new home. The subject of Irregang is the cradle story familiar from Chaucer's Reeve's Tale and its analogues.
