Description: Wien: Verlag der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, 2015. 30cm., pbk., 140pp. text, 43 color plates. German text. Summary: The Munich "Jungere Titurel," which emerged around 1430/35, has traditionally been localized either to South Tyrol or to Vienna, which both linguistic and art-historical arguments tended to support. The two authors of this work have undertaken a detailed analysis of the evidence in order to clarify the facts about the "Jüngere Titurel" on the basis of eleven other manuscripts composed in the Bavarian dialect of early modern German. It is well-known that the art historian Martin Roland and the linguist Peter Wiesinger first worked independently, in order to avoid influencing each others work. Both of them came to the same conclusion: the manuscript was not produced on the banks of the Etsch in South Tyrol, but was clearly from somewhere more northerly; the superb miniatures that grace the manuscript were produced not in Vienna, but somewhere upriver. This now published work brings together the arguments of both disciplines and offers an important stimulus for interdisciplinary collaboration. (Denkschriften der phil.-hist. Klasse, 473.
