Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book engages with the Middle High German romance of Apollonius von Tyrland and its medieval literary context through a comparative study of the text with its Latin source, the Historia Apollonii Regis Tyrii. The author argues that the Middle High German text is not a simple transl…ation, but a creative reworking of the Latin original, which incorporates a variety of additional material from other sources. These include a significant amount of new material not found in the Latin text, such as the adventures of Apollonius in Galacia and Bulgaria, his imprisonment by Nemrot, and his adventures in Chrysa. The author argues that these additions are not simply the product of the author's imagination, but are drawn from a variety of literary and historical sources, including Byzantine chronicles, romances, and saints' lives. The author concludes by suggesting that the Middle High German Apollonius von Tyrland is a valuable and important text in its own right, and that it sheds light on the complex and multifaceted nature of medieval literary culture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
