The Stuttgart Theuerdank is a copy of the very limited first edition of a German-language epic poem relating the exploits of the young knight Theuerdank (a fictionalized version of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor). It was printed in Nuremberg in 1517 by Johann Schönsperger (the Elder). The composition and illustration of the poem, as well as its printing, were patronized by the emperor, who employed Leonhard Beck, Hans Burgkmaier (the Elder), and Hans Schäufelein (the Elder)—among others—to design its 118 woodcut illustrations, each filling two-thirds of a page.

We have 2 facsimiles of the manuscript "Stuttgart Theuerdank":

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
