Bibliophiles and Bibliothieves: The Search for the Hildebrandslied and the Willehalm Codex

Description

“

The defacement, destruction, or scattering of medieval manuscripts is not a modern-day phenomenon. Their history is replete with violence and fraught with forced wanderings. Only a fraction of the once bountiful output of medieval scriptoria has endured to reach our century. These precious survivors were passed from hand to hand, sometimes lovingly as scholarly gifts, more often violently as loot or war-trophies. Perhaps the greatest single loss to literature resulting from the Second World War was the theft and defacement of the ninthcentury Hildebrandslied, the oldest extant heroic poem ever found on German soil. One other codex vanished from the same box and bunker: the lavishly illustrated fourteenth-century Willehalm Codex. "Bibliophiles and Bibliothieves" attempts to trace the war and hostage years of these two priceless manuscripts.It is a “detective story” with a happy ending.
