    Wigamur is an anonymously-authored, thirteenth-century Middle High German romance about a king's son who is lost to his parents in infancy. The eponymous hero, after being carried off in childhood by a mermaid, rescues an eagle which becomes his constant companion; in subsequent adventures he also rescues a maiden, becomes a Knight of the Round Table, and finally confronts a knight who of course proves to be his father, from whom he inherits a kingdom. The romance is perhaps the most most fully realized example of the Fair Unknown, or Bel Inconnu, motif in both the German and larger European Arthurian traditions.
    Owng in part to the lack of an English translation, unlike other contemporary German romances, Wigamur has been comparatively little studied. This volume aimsto fill this need. It presents an edition of the text ( based on the only complete manuscript, Wolffenbüttel, Herzog August Bibliothek, Cod. Guelf. 51.2. Aug. 4 (W), dating from the last half of thefifteenth century), accompanied by facing translation, notes, and introduction.

    Joseph M. Sullivan is an Associate Professor of German at the University of Oklahoma.

    In der Habilitationsschrift werden die Exekutionen der Tat in der Literatur beobachtet und auf ihr Erzählung des Politischen befragt. Es geht darum, die spezifische Form und Funktion der Tat für das Politische, ihre Eigenlogik und spezifische Programmierung in dem jeweiligen Text zu analysieren und Linien zwischen den Texten und Jahren aufzuzeigen. Zwischen den in der Arbeit diskutierten Paradigmata (Teil I: 1773–1810, Teil II: 1891–1930, Teil III: 1968–2014) lassen sich auch auf der syntagmatischen Achse Bezüge herstellen, so dass sich eine diachrone Lesart der Tat ergibt, die die Beobachtung von historischen Konstellationen von dem Politischem und der Tat im Paradigma und Syntagma ermöglicht. Narrating the deed produces negotiations of the political that can be observed in narratives, dramas, and manifestos. This volume examines the specific form of the deed and its function for the political by looking at texts that were published between 1773 and 2014, producing a diachronic reading of the deed that focuses on historical constellations of the political.

    Here is the first survey of the surviving evidence for the growth, development, and influence of the Neoplatonist allegorical reading of the Iliad and Odyssey. Professor Lamberton argues that this tradition of reading was to create new demands on subsequent epic and thereby alter permanently the nature of European epic. The Neoplatonist reading was to be decisive in the birth of allegorical epic in late antiquity and forms the background for the next major extension of the epic tradition found in Dante.
