2 unusual facts about Heinrich der Glïchezäre


Heinrich der Glïchezäre

Of the German poem in its original form entitled Isengrïnes nöt (Isengrin's trouble), only a few fragments are preserved in a mutilated manuscript discovered in 1839 in the Hessian town of Melsungen.

We possess, however, a complete version made by an unknown hand in the thirteenth century and preserved in two manuscripts, one at Heidelberg and one belonging to the archiepiscopal library of Kalocsa.
