Edition Der Heidelberger Handschrift P (Codex Pal. Lat. 52) Und Der Handschrift D (Codex Discissus: Bonn, Berlin/Krakau, Wolfenbuttel) - Teil 1: Texte (P/D) (German, Hardcover)

The Heidelberg manuscript (P) of Otfrid's -Evangelienbuch- is a further source that puts us in relatively close contact with the author. It was written in the late 9th century in Weissenburg by two of Otfrid's pupils who had already collaborated on manuscript V (Cod. Vindobonensis 2687; Vols. I,1 and I,2). Its distinguishing features are the highly artistic initials, textual foregrounding strategies, neumes, and written variants of language-historical significance. Manuscript D (Discissus, Fulda, around 975) survives in fragments only. These have been put together here for the first time. With this publication the diplomatic edition of the Otfrid manuscripts V, P, and D is now complete."
