Overview

There is no evidence for explicit vernacular poetics within the early Meistergesang of the 14th and 15th century. While institutionally organised Meistersinger created a normative literary genre by using tablatures, the poetology of the early anonymous Meistergesang can only be deduced from the poetry itself. The normativity of poetological compositions rejects the idea of a notional standard. This abstract norm, which is versified in the poem or rather extracted from it, is replaced by the poem itself. The present study edits and analyses Bare, created between 1350 and 1520, that incorporate several forms of reflection such as poetical language, the idea of poets as craftsmen, artworks of versification, or content specific types of Lieder. By proper editing, the study aims to render the early Meistergesang more accessible, comprehensible, and applicable to categories. Moreover, the goal is to label the early Meistergesang a distinct part of the Meistersinger tradition. As a result, the study identifies generic, linguistic, and metaphoric features of the Meistergesang's poetology.
