Ladies, Whores, and Holy Women: A Sourcebook in Courtly, Religious, and Urban Cultures of Late Medieval Germany

Introductions, translations and notes by Ann Marie Rasmussen and Sarah Westphal-Wihl

This sourcebook presents editions and translations of seven fourteenth- and fifteenth-century texts that advance our understanding of gender, sexuality and class in the late medieval German-speaking world. Three of the translated texts are fiction. Additionally, there is a religious treatise, a religious legend, an inventory of books and a legal document. While each of these texts is instructive in and of itself, they gain in complexity when brought into dialogue with one another.

Der Welsche Gast (The Italian Guest)

Thomasin von Zirclaria
Translated with introduction and notes by Marion Gibbs and Winder McConnell

This work betrays the heavy hand of the clerical moralist who moves from providing the younger members of his audience with a primer for proper social etiquette in his early verses to a meticulous analysis of what he clearly viewed as the appropriate ethical code for the nobility of his time, often presented against the backdrop of thundering condemnations of the state of contemporary affairs.

Sovereignty and Salvation in the Vernacular, 1050–1150

Introduction, translations and notes by James A. Schultz

These texts will be of interest because they represent a kind of writing – at the intersection of ecclesiastical and secular power, drawing on the whole range of medieval Latin learning, yet written in vernacular verse – that is not found elsewhere in the European Middle Ages. In addition, they may be of use in teaching since, although relatively short, they illustrate a great number of characteristic medieval ways of writing and can be linked to a number of quite remarkable historical figures.
