The Innsbrucker Codex is an important collective manuscript of a Middle-Age short epic. It is exceptional for the story analysis, a significant source because it is the youngest collection of poems of this kind to have been made. Besides the 32 tales (u.a. From Konrad von Werzburg, the Stricker, Ruediger von Hinkhofen) the manuscript also contains fables and parodies from spiritual literature.

Altogether this manuscript represents a worldly collection of entertaining stories which mirrors the taste of the middle-class during the Middle-Ages. For the literary analysis, the manuscript is not only interesting due to the numerous illustrations found within (which correspond to the style of a “people's manuscript” (H.Wegner) with clear details given so that these poems would be easily understood in these times) but also because few illustrated stories have been preserved from this time period.

In the second part of the manuscript, where the collection was to be added onto blank sheets, one finds the second important duplication of “Gauriel von Muntabel” Konrads von Stoffeln, whose ending is unfortunately missing. This transcript is important to note regarding the history of literature because here Konrad tries to shorten his epic in comparison to the older version in the Donaueschinger manuscript.

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.
