Thomas Lirer
Thomas Lirer is the pseudonym of an author who worked in the Lake Constance area , who wrote the so-called Swabian Chronicle between 1460 and 1485 , which was first printed in 1485 by Konrad Dinckmut in Ulm . The second part of the print was the Gmünder Kaiserchronik .
life and work
Nothing is known about Thomas Lirer's life. The assumption that Lirer was based in Altach in the early 1470s is disputed by Karl Heinz Burmeister .
According to Burmeister, the author of the Swabian Chronicle was an anonymous, "a conservative spirit loyal to the aristocracy, who was connected to the Montfort family, a 'laicus peritus' (educated layman), most likely a writer who probably also had experience as a court clerk" .
reception
In particular, the extensive Elisa episode in the final part was received repeatedly as a literary text. Processing:
- Zimmerische Chronik - available at Wikisource
- Achim von Arnim in the Wintergarten (Berlin 1809) - available at Wikisource
- Joseph Albrecht von Ittner : Count Albrecht von Werdenberg (in Schriften Vol. 1, p. 250 ff. Online ), available from Wikisource
- Joseph von Laßberg , printed by Karl August Barack in 1894 - available on Commons as a scan
- Ottmar Schönhuth : History of the beautiful Elisa […] , Volksbuch 1850, available on Commons as a scan
- Alfred Meißner (co-author: Franz Hedrich): The Princess of Portugal (1881 in a women's magazine, 1882 in book form) - scanned for de.wikisource.org by DigiWunschbuch, scans on Commons
So far, two Swedish editions that probably go back to Schönhut have not been considered: Historia om den sköna prinsessan Elisa af Portugal och grefve Albrecht von Werdenberg (1854) and a later one.
In 1813, the episode in which a Count of Montfort fights for the honor of the Empress of China inspired the Swabian romantic Justinus Kerner for his ballad Count Montfort .
