Abstract

Jan Mohr’s 2014 Habilitationsschrift for the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München appears in here revised form with seven chapters that examine minne through the lens of sociology of knowledge as a ‘semantic resource’ in courtly society and for the formation of roles within that society. Minnesang in the widest sense constitutes the objects of study and encompasses the early Minnelieder and canzonas, as well as the later medieval poets such as the Mönch von Salzburg and the later Minnereden genre. Recent handbooks and editions have facilitated access to the wider Minnesang corpus examined here, particularly via <?page nr="419"?>comparative approaches to the grouping of Tagelieder – Winterlieder (Neidhart) – erzählende Minnereden.
