Heinrich Steinhöwels Apollonius

Apollonius of Tyre was one of the most popular stories of the German Middle Ages. In a critical Latin and German parallel edition, this volume presents the previously unedited version of 'Apollonius' produced by the early humanist Heinrich Steinhöwel, along with information about the transmission and genesis of the text. The research section situates the author and the work in its socio-historical context and goes beyond its literary-historical aspects to focus on cultural and economic interconnections.--Supplied by publisher.
