The original-near edition of the author's copy presented here (Vienna ÖNB Cod. 2687, Hs V) opens the extensive new three-volume edition (with part-volumes) of Otfrid von Weißenburg's »Gospel Book« (V, P, D, without F). The heart of the edition is the author's manuscript (V), described in detail on more palaeographico principles. This close description is supplemented by specialist articles by Wolfgang Haubrichs (Saarbrücken), Norbert Kössinger (Munich), Otto Mazal (Vienna), Norbert H. Ott (Munich), and Michael Klaper (Erlangen). The central aim is to provide a literary-historical analysis of a work that combines theological content and aesthetic transparency of form in a consummate fashion.
