Overview

This volume presents the ""Hildebrandlied"" and ""Waltharilied,"" two significant works of early Germanic literature, alongside the ""ZaubersprÃ1/4che"" (magic spells) and the ""Muspilli."" The ""Hildebrandlied,"" a heroic lay written in Old High German, recounts the tragic encounter between a father and son. The ""Waltharilied,"" a Latin epic poem, tells the story of Walter of Aquitaine's daring escape and heroic battles. The inclusion of the ""ZaubersprÃ1/4che"" offers insight into early Germanic beliefs and magical practices, while the fragmentary poem ""Muspilli"" provides a glimpse into eschatological views. Collected and presented by Gotthold Bötticher, this edition offers valuable resources for scholars and readers interested in Germanic philology, medieval literature, and the cultural history of the early Middle Ages. These texts offer a crucial window into the language, beliefs, and heroic ideals of early Germanic society.
