About This Book

A companion anthology assembles representative extracts of German prose and poetry from the fourth to the nineteenth century, chosen to illustrate the literary periods treated in a contemporary scholarly history. It presents original medieval and early‑modern texts alongside modern German renderings, and includes biographical notices, editorial notes, and guidance on transcription, orthography, and layout. Selection principles and chapter headings follow the historian’s framework while certain major figures receive extended treatment, and the volume intermixes poems, prose excerpts, and critical commentary to serve as a practical reading‑book and reference for students and general readers.

Et ecce tota civitas exiit obviam Iesu et viso eo rogabant, ut transiret a finibus eorum. Et adscendens in naviculam transfretavit et venit in civitatem suam. Et ecce offerebant ei paralyticum iacentem in lecto, et videns Iesus fidem illorum dixit paralytico: confide fili, remittuntur {10} tibi peccata tua; et ecce quidam de scribis dixerunt intra se: Hic blasphemat. et cum vidisset Iesus cogitationes eorum, dixit: Ut quid cogitatis mala in cordibus vestris? Quid est facilius dicere: dimittuntur tibi peccata tua, aut dicere: surge et ambula? Ut sciatis autem, quoniam filius hominis {20} habet potestatem in terra dimittendi peccata, Tunc ait paralytico: Surge, tolle lectum tuum et vade in domum tuam. et surrexit et abiit in domum suam. Videntes autem turbæ timuerunt et glorificaverunt deum, qui talem potestatem dedit hominibus.
