The Early New High German "Jüngeres Hildebrandslied" was a veritable hit. Richly documented, it radiated from German into Yiddish, Dutch, and Danish, with its melody finding its way into the vocal polyphony of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This volume is the first to present editions of the complete versions and variants, including musical scores, flanked by an extensive literary-historical and text-critical introduction.
