Along with Walther von der Vogelweide, Neidhart is the most important and successful minnesinger in Middle High German literature. The tradition of the lyrical work, which is divided into 'summer' and 'winter' songs, is rich. It comprises about 140 songs, some with melodies. Neidhart's creative period is dated to the first third of the 13th century. The special feature of his œuvre lies in the parodic transfer of the courtly Minnesang concept to the rural world: the setting is no longer the castle and the bower, but the village green. In the 'Summer Songs', the narrator appears as a courtier coveted by the peasant girls at dances and games, whereas in the 'Winter Songs' he appears as a minstrel vainly courting their favour and losing out to the peasant rivals. Neidhart's motifs and figures had a rich impact, for example in later Schwank literature.  This new edition of his work, produced at the University of Salzburg, is a philological sensation: after decades of research into the entire tradition, which researchers have divided into numerous manuscript blocks that are interrelated in a complicated way, it offers a good 150 years after the first edition by Moriz Haupt (1858) the text of all the songs that have come down to us under Neidhart's name in a critical edition, together with the melodies. For the first time, all known textual witnesses in parchment and paper manuscripts as well as in prints are taken into account, including the so-called 'Pseudo-Neidharte'. Divergent text versions are presented in parallel print. Apparatuses and commentaries as well as a bibliography and discography provide comprehensive information on the entire history of the transmission and edition of the songs. The edition is a milestone in German medieval studies and will be the starting point for all Neidhart research in the future.
