"The present study is a treatment of the extant versions of the legend composed on German soil. It is accompanied by four texts of the legend; two of these, the Crisostimo Meisterlied and the story from the Viaticum narrationum, are here printed for the first time; the German prose version is reprinted from the first edition of Der heiligen leben, and Hermann Korner's narrative is taken from his last revision of the Chronica novella."--Pref.
