The Altdeutsche Textbibliothek [Old German Text Library] is the series of editions of German medieval texts with the richest history. Founded in 1881 by Hermann Paul, it has been edited by leading Germanists – Georg Beasecke, Hugo Kuhn, Burghart Wachinger. Since 2001, responsibility for the series has rested with Christian Kiening.In the meantime, the series comprises some 120 volumes, with an exemplary combination of closeness to the original manuscript(s) with ease of reading, philological accuracy with concern for university teaching. It includes recognised editions of “classical” authors from around 1200 – some with commentary – but also presents veritable editions of authors’ works (Notker the German) and high-quality new editions (Eckenlied, Heinrich von dem Türlin).

The grammars of the Main Series A are designed as “reference grammars”, which mostly only deal with the phonology and morphology, and sometimes with the syntax as well. They provide information principally on confirmed grammatical findings, but also point to gaps and controversies in the research, both with copious references to the literature, thus allowing the reader to penetrate the material more deeply. The “Summaries” in Series C restrict this information to the minimum necessary. The Supplementary Series B presents books dealing with subjects from grammar, language history and ancillary disciplines.
