"Hie Lert Uns Der Meister"
註釋"This study is the fullest available on the animal fables of Aesop and Avian and their reception in the Middle Ages. Assembling (and partly discovering) this corpus of more than seventy manuscripts from libraries in some twelve different countries -- a major achievement in itself -- Wright develops from this rich collection of medieval Latin fable collections and their pedagogical prose commentaries new perspectives on a number of larger issues of medieval culture, particularly the character of school life and the development of a learned vernacular literature. These fables and their commentaries served widely as textbooks throughout the Middle Ages, and Wright succeeds in explaining how they were taught and learned in the medieval classroom. He also demonstrates their influence on five German fable collections of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. This study reconceives and rewrites the history of the medieval German fable." -- from dustjacket.
