Overview
This compendium is the first work to provide a complete and methodologically reflected documentation of the maxims and sayings in medieval German Arthurian romances. A differentiated listing collects the maxims, reflects their narrative context, gives a semantic explanation via a paraphrase, locates them in the aphoristic network of the relevant text by pointing to parallel passages, and, using citations from the Bible and medieval literature in Latin and the vernacular(s), locates them in the relevant tradition of their usage.
