OSWALD VON WOLKENSTEIN, c.1377-1445

Handschrift A. Vollständige Faksimile-Ausgabe im Originalformat des Codex Vindobonensis 2777 der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek. Kommentar von Francesco Delbono.







Codices Selecti, 59. Graz, 1977. 37 x 27 cm, 50, 122 pp. 3-color facsimile of the complete ms copied around 1425 in the Tyrol. The codex, evidently commissioned by Oswald himself, is beautifully executed with red and blue initials and includes a large portrait of the poet-musician—considered the first authentic picture of a German poet ever; its almost 100 songs make it the starting point for any Oswald research. Comprehensive codicological and textual notes by Francesco Delbono. Linen. $795
