Stolz, MichaelMichaelStolz0000-0003-3048-0060Brüggen, ElkeElkeBrüggen2024-09-022024-09-022020-08https://boris-portal.unibe.ch/handle/20.500.12422/36553This article presents the outlines of a new comprehensive edition of Wolfram’s ‘Parzival’, based on the research results of two originally independent projects: The crit- ical text is provided by the ‘Parzival’-Project at the university of Bern. It uses electronic methods for editing four textual versions alongside manuscript transcriptions and digital images. A condensed form of this multi-text-edition, reducing the various data of the latter to a single text edition with selected apparatus, is combined with the outcomes of the second project. This cooperative research endeavor at the universities of Bochum, Bonn, and Cologne gives a modern German translation of the poem together with an extensive commentary. While challenging for both sides, the merging of the projects offers the great opportunity to allow for mutual references to be included both in the editorial work and the translation and commentary of the text for a broader public. This will enable the readers to study Wolfram’s ‘Parzival’, considering the interplay of its textual diversity and semantic richness.de400 - Language::430 - German & related languages800 - Literature, rhetoric & criticism::830 - German & related literaturesbook_section10.7892/boris.145336
