The Fluid Text: Observations on the History of Transmission and Textual Criticism of the Thirteenth-Century Courtly Epic
Joachim Bumke
- 01 Jan 2005
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the manuscript history of the courtly epic of the Nibelungenlied in the thirteenth century and show that there can be no objective method of treating texts that is valid for all periods and all cultures, but that texts fixed in writing must be interpreted as cultural artifacts characterized by the historical conditions of their period.
