Starting with Volume 13, the renowned series of books from the Medieval Studies Institute of the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, is being published by Walter de Gruyter. The series presents a high-quality scholarly forum for interdisciplinary research in medieval studies. Its mission is to advance understanding of medieval literature, philosophy and art through soundly based research contributions. Apart from the volumes of proceedings of the biennial interdisciplinary Fribourg Colloquia, the SCRINIUM FRIBURGENSE series produces monographs from specific subject areas or from combinations of medieval subject areas represented in the Institute, i.e. general history, art history and the history of philosophy, Early Christian and Byzantine archaeology, and medieval literatures in Latin and the vernaculars. The studies contained in SCRINIUM FRIBURGENSE are distinguished by their continuation of well-established traditions of research, by the plurality of their methods, by the innovativeness of the questions posed and by their transdisciplinary methodological approach. The series is, of course, open to manuscripts from external scholars on problems of medieval research which match the profile of the series.

Die Weitergabe von Wissen und Fertigkeiten ist ein Kernbereich mittelalterlicher Lebenswirklichkeit. Die deutsche Literatur kann dabei entscheidende Einblicke geben, wie sich das Feld des Lehrens, Lernens und Bildens vom 8.-16. Jahrhundert entwickelt. Theoriegeleitetes Wissen und praxisbezogene Handlungsanweisungen werden nicht nur in im engeren Sinne didaktischen Texten vermittelt. Lehrhaftes Sprechen und der Anspruch, lêre und bilde zu bieten, ist ein Grundprinzip auch der erzählenden Texte, der Lyrik und der Spiele. Die hier versammelten Beiträge des XIII. Anglo-German Colloquium in Nottingham (2013) geben somit einen faszinierenden Einblick in das ganze Spektrum mittelalterlicher Wissensvermittlung im Spannungsfeld schriftlicher und mündlicher Traditionen.
