Otfrids Evangelienbuch; [German, Old High]

Otfrids Evangelienbuch is a significant work of Old High German literature. Written in the 9th century by Otfrid von Weissenburg, it presents the Gospels in verse form, making it one of the earliest and most important examples of vernacular religious poetry in the German language.

This edition, edited by Oskar Erdmann, offers readers access to the original text and provides valuable insights into the linguistic and cultural context of the period. The Evangelienbuch is not only a key text for students of Old High German but also a fascinating window into the religious and literary landscape of the early Middle Ages.
