Die 'Konstanzer Weltchronik'

The 'Konstanz World Chronicle' is a significant scholarly book that deals with an anonymous work from the 14th century. The chronicle presents a complex case of transmission based on Latin sources from the 12th to 14th centuries. Sarah Hutterer has meticulously prepared all textual witnesses and presents the text in an edition that is accessible for the first time. The study illuminates the relationship between text and image as well as the handling of the Latin sources. Hutterer develops the concept of 'modular textuality' to analyze the specific practices of late medieval literacy. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in linguistics and literature, offering profound insights into the textual practices of the Middle Ages.
