Description

With some 5000 articles, the Lexicon of Authors presents the whole of medieval German literature. The work carries on from the first edition (1933 1955); it is, however, broader in scope and has been completely reworked by international scholars to represent (and often to establish) the present state of research. The dictionary contains all known authors writing in German, many authors writing in Latin, and prominent anonymous works.

The unsurpassed heuristic work of medieval German studies - indispensable for all medieval disciplines including even the history of medicine. The work not only extensively documents the current state of research within the defined framework, the changes in the articles between Vol. 1 and Vol. 11 reveal how research and presentation methods have become more precise. That is why this lexicon also has high historical value for the discipline, which would be worth investigating - and this will surely occur one day.
Prof. Dr. Johannes Janota

This basic, comprehensive reference work on the literature of the medieval German language area has had a sustained impact on medieval research since the publication of the first volume in 1978, e.g. through the obligatory inclusion and presentation of the facts on how these writings were handed down.
Prof. Dr. Kurt Gärtner

With a total of some 5000 alphabetically arranged articles, the Dictionary of Authors presents the whole of medieval German literature. In its organisation, the work carries on from the first edition (1933-1955); it is, however, broader in scope and has been completely reworked by numerous international scholars to represent (and often to establish) the present state of research.

The term literature as used here encompasses all writing with the exception of archival records, and thus includes not only belles-lettres but also practical and occasionally ecclesiastical, legal, historical, scientific, medical, technical and commercial texts. The dictionary contains all known authors writing in German with their works, a broad selection of authors from the German language area writing in Latin, and all prominent anonymous works. Less prominent German anonymous works are included in articles on representative manuscript collections, on the reception of important Latin authors from Antiquity and the Middle Ages in translation, quotation and glossaries, and in some cases feature in wide-ranging thematic overviews. In all the articles, particular importance is attached to an account of the transmission of the works.

"Mit Deutscher Humanismus 1480 - 1520 liegt ein vorzügliches, ungemein substanzreiches Werk vor, das in sehr großen Teilen originäre Forschungsleistung repräsentiert und insgesamt einen eminenten Fortschritt in der Erschließung des deutschen Humanismus bedeutet."
Siegmar Döpp in: Arbitrium 2016; 34(3): 306 - 312

"Ein imposantes prosopographisches Panorama der lateinischen Literatur im Heiligen Römischen Reich deutscher Nation in der Epoche Kaiser Maximilians I., ein in dieser systematischen Gründlichkeit bespielloses Kompendium einer literarischen Produktion, die nicht mehr mittelalterlich und noch nicht neuzeitlich ist und zu deren Bezeichnung der durchaus diffuse Begriff Humanismus nach wie vor am besten taugt. [...] Deshalb gehört kein Mut zu der Prognose, dass das hier besprochene Werk ab jetzt der autoritative Ausgangspunkt jeder weiteren Recherche zum 'deutschen' Humanismus sein wird."
Gerrit Walther in: PBB 138.2 (2016)
