Author Lexicon

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The German literature of the Middle Ages. Author's Lexicon ( VL ) is in its second, completely revised edition ( ²VL , VL² ) an important reference work in ancient German studies . The now completed project was based at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and was financed as part of the academy program.

Authors, anonymous works and groups of works are presented in detailed articles, taking into account the text transmission. The focus is on German-language literature from the High and Late Middle Ages, and a selection of Latin scripts is also taken into account.

A more extensive inclusion of Central Dutch literature than "German", as suggested by Kurt Ruh as early as 1955 and as the main editor, failed.

history

The first edition, founded by Wolfgang Stammler and continued by Karl Langosch , appeared in five volumes from 1933–1955 in Berlin.

The second edition comprises fourteen volumes and was published from 1977 to 2008. The first ten volumes contain entries on authors and anonymous works from A to Z; Volume 11 offers additions and corrections, Volume 12 an index of all manuscripts. Volumes 13 and 14 offer further registers.

The central editorial office (main editor: Christine Stöllinger-Löser) of the work published by Kurt Ruh (volumes 1–8) and Burghart Wachinger (from volume 9 main editor) was housed at the University of Würzburg until 2003 , then in Augsburg and Munich. The publishing support was the responsibility of the Walter de Gruyter publishing house in Berlin .

In 2001 a selection of studies appeared in a one-volume edition. In 2010 an unabridged study edition was published, but it only includes the first eleven volumes (without the registers).

In 2013, Rolf Bergmann, in collaboration with the authors of the 2nd edition and suggested by Verlag de Gruyter, revised and updated the lemmas of the Old High German and Old Saxon text corpus to the research status of 2012. The result of this revision was included in the “De Gruyter Lexicon” series and published under the title Old High German and Old Saxon Literature .
