Nibelungenlied (Fragment)

Staatsarchiv München

Description

While ordering letter protocols of the county court, a former administrative institution, in Rosenheim, the Staatsarchiv München (Munich State Archive) discovered a total of eleven fragments of a Nibelung manuscript in 1985. They belong with the manuscript Q of the Song of the Nibelung, which consists of several fragments from Augsburg and Rosenheim. The manuscript Q is with 330 stanzas the most comprehensive fragmentary body preserved and comes in its importance directly after the complete manuscripts. It offers in many cases the best manner of reading and contains some so-far unknown variants of the text.
