Ebook: Edition und Sprachgeschichte: Baseler Fachtagung 2.-4. März 2005

The articles in this volume discuss the language-historical aspects of text editions undertaken in the framework of German medieval studies. Throughout, due attention is given to the fact that the linguistic resources elaborated in the 19th century were based on highly manipulated versions, whereas more recently there has been a call for the return to manuscript sources. The papers delivered at the Basel symposium proceed from a consideration of this state of affairs. Neighboring disciplines like Dutch studies and Romance studies are also included.
