The Deutsches Literatur-Lexikon. Das Mittelalter covers German literature in the broadest sense from the 8th to the end of the 15th century. The approximately 6,000 clearly structured articles are arranged according to topic area and genre and are presented chronologically within each category. Introductory essays to each volume provide an overview and place each area in its literary and cultural-historical context. The indices for each volume will be consolidated once the work is completed and published as a separate volume. The articles inform in a detailed but concise way about each writer's life and work, and about the content, background and reception history of the works, reflecting the latest state of research. Besides sections on tradition, editions and selected translations, a list with the most important secondary literature rounds off each article.

The series Texte und Textgeschichte [Texts and Textual History] set up by the Würzburg research group on ‘Medieval Prose’ under its leader Kurt Ruh contains editions and studies of widely disseminated high-impact late medieval German functional texts. They are prepared and presented with an emphasis on the communicative function of literature, the mutual interaction of author, writer and public. This involves taking primary account of textual mutations in the course of transmission; the methodological objective of each of the editions is to present these editorially in an optimum manner (textual transmission methodology). The studies are directed in each case at the particular circumstances of the transmission - textual geography, chronology and sociology - process the sources and trace the impact of the texts.
