Das poetische Werk

Count Hugo von Montfort (1357 - 1423), Lord of Bregenz and First Minister of Styria, left a considerable body of literature. 40 texts have been preserved, consisting of songs, letters, and speeches to be delivered to a courtly audience. This new student edition has been prepared using modern editorial methods, and for the first time includes the entire text tradition. Apart from the original late medieval texts (with a careful commentary) the edition provides an introduction to Hugo von Montfort's life, work, and times and an appendix on the melodies.
