Excerpt from The Rime Technique in the Poems of Reinmar Von Zweter: A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate, School of Cornell University, for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
It is well known that the scribes and copyists of the ancient manuscripts had no misgivings about making changes in the text to suit their own volcabulary or dialectic usage, and these changes could easily be made without affecting the text provided the word was in the verse, but in rime such changes were much more difficult, if not impossible, because then both members of the rime pair required changing and frequently one or both of the verses needed recasting. For this reason the rimes have come down to us quite intact and furnish a more reliable criterion of the author's original diction than any of the rest of the text. A rime investigation leads us into the workshop of the author, as it were, and we observe him at his work. We note his peculiarities, his special preferences, the influence of his dialect, the development of his rime technique.
