However, these terms do open the way to an understanding of central aspects of medieval views of literature and of the historical conception of works and authors. The volume presents a collection of papers by renowned medievalists on key terms and items in medieval poetics and historical semantics. |

| Publisher Description: Der Band widmet sich der historischen Semantik poetologischer Selbstbezeichnungen der deutschen Literatur des Mittelalters (âventiure, schrift, rede, buoch, tihtaere etc.). Er begreift ihre viel berufene Vagheit als Chance, zentralen Aspekten der mittelalterlichen Literaturauffassung sowie historischer Werk- und Autorkonzepte über ihre zeitgenössische Bezeichnungspraxis näher zu kommen. |
