Around 1300 the norwegian royal house ordered an unknown writer to translate a nowadays lost german source into the old swedish knight’s tale „Hertig Fredrik av Normandie“. Because of it being in old swedish, german scientific research tended to overlook the text. The book at hand tries to remedy this fact by presenting for the first time a german line by line translation. An additonal study comparing the assumed german source „*Herzog Friedrich von der Normandie“ to contemporary medieval texts finally sets the cornerstone for a future, more thorough analysis of the text.

Jean Paul is one of the great classics of German literature. This new historical-critical edition of part of his works presents the core area of Jean Paul’s output for the first time from a consideration of the process of composition; it not only presents the texts in what the author regarded as their final form, but also allows the reader access to versions of the works never previously edited and to preliminary handwritten studies on a large scale. The commentary sets out the rich variety of Jean Paul’s metaphors using previously inaccessible posthumous collections and presents a new view of an author long regarded as difficult to understand.
