'Hystoria Judith'. Deutsche Judith-Dichtungen vom 12. bis zum 16. Jahrhundert

Image: End of the so-called ‘Older Judith’ and beginning of the ‘Younger Judith’. From f. 100^va of Ms 276 of the Collegiate Library at Vorau, end of the 12th cent. The later marginal hystoria iudith repeats a similar marginal note (hystoria Judith) before the text of the preceding text on f. 99^va  (from the faksimile ‘Die deutschen Gedichte der Vorauer Handschrift’, hg.v. Chorherrenstift Vorau, Graz 1958).

The book has come out in the series 'Scrinium Friburgense' with de Gruyter, cf. the table of contents and the Register of names, bible-quotations and the table of images in pdf-Form.
