Publisher's Synopsis
This second volume completes the new edition of Heinrich von dem Türlin's »Krone«. It supplants the old edition by G.F.H. Scholl (1852), which has frequently been criticized as inadequate. The editing guidelines of Volume 1 (Altdeutsche Textbibliothek 112) with their concern for proximity to the manuscript have been maintained. The only major difference is the switch in the leithandschrift from the Viennese V manuscript (which breaks off at the end of the text presented in Volume 1) to the Heidelberg P manuscript. The edition comes with an extensive introduction (discussing editing guidelines and providing descriptions of the manuscripts and linguistic analyses) and an index of names for the entire text.
