Abstract
-
This dissertation comprises diplomatic-critical editions of three fifteenth-century Bavarian manuscripts. The main MS, the Ehrenbrief by Jakob Putrich von Reichertshausen (1462), edited from the unique MS, Herzogenburg No. 219, is a versified letter containing the names of the contemporary Bavarian nobility and two catalogues of books. It was composed for Countess Mechthild by Rhine and Archduchess of Austria, a prominent patroness of the arts and bibliophile, with the intent of arranging an exchange of books. The Turnierreime by Johann Holland (ca. 1450), edited from cgm 1317, is an earlier catalogue of the Bavarian nobility which was probably one of Putrich's sources. Ulrich Fuetrers Namenkatalog, edited from cgm 1, constitutes the last part of his Buch der Abenteuer (completed ca. 1492), a huge compilation of medieval adventure tales, which clearly came to be written under Putrich's guidance and within the vicinity of his well stocked library. The present combined edition of these three texts furnishes the textual evidence for the various links between the authors and their works. Moreover, the introduction to the Turnierreime outlines late medieval social changes and political conflicts in that part of Germany in order to show the process during which concerns with genealogy and a need for documentation on the part of the aristocracy became increasingly apparent.
