Ebook: Aliscans: Das altfranzösische Heldenepos nach der venezianischen Fassung M

For the first time, this volume presents a German translation of the Old French heroic epic Aliscans, which served as a model for Wolfram von Eschenbach’s novel Willehalm. The primary source for the text is the edition based on the Venetian manuscript M (Holtus 1985). Students of German Studies will thus be able to compare the two texts and study both their affinities as well as the completely new form and interpretation presented by Wolfram.

• The first German translation of the Old French heroic epic
• This edition is based on the printed version of manuscript M, and considers other textual sources
