{"title":"Fragments of Didacticism: The Early Middle High German ‘Rittersitte’ and ‘Der heimliche Bote’","authors":"Claudia Wittig","doi":"10.1515/9783110650068-008","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110650068-008","url":null,"abstract":"Some of the earliest texts in the medieval vernacular languages are transmitted as unique and often fragmentary manuscripts. In most cases we have no information as to their composition or reception, and sometimes even parts of their content remain unclear. This article proposes a way of reading early vernacular fragments as parts of the discourses to which they contribute. It argues that this context can help us assess the literary and didactic status of a text and even aid in their editing. This is demonstrated by the example of two early Middle High German texts: the ‘Rittersitte’ and ‘Der heimliche Bote’. The former is transmitted as a fragment and its editor has attempted to fill the gaps based on vivid imagination rather than on sound philological principles or contextual information. Scholars are still uncertain concerning the unity of the latter and its literary genre: is it a love letter or a didactic poem? Considering the broader discourse in which these texts participate provides some context for the transmission of the manuscripts and can help establish social situatedness for early didactic literature, even if the witnesses are incomplete or of questionable literary status. This chapter will reintroduce two pieces of didactic literature into the scholarly discussion and offer a new approach for understanding them. In reading the ‘Rittersitte’ and ‘Der heimliche Bote’ in their discursive context, we will not only explore ways to gain clarity about the contents of these texts, but also demonstrate what they can tell us – despite, or even because of their fragmentary status – about the Sitz im Leben of early secular didactic poetry. My aim is to establish more clearly the relevance of secular didacticism in the High Middle Ages and offer strategies to interpret the sparse evidence. I will first discuss the status of fragments in the field of medieval studies and explore its implications for an epistemological assessment of medieval writing, and then develop some of these ideas further using the examples of the ‘Rittersitte’ and ‘Der heimliche Bote’, addressing some unresolved issues scholars have to face when studying these texts: the content of the ‘Rittersitte’ and the question of the unity of ‘Der heimliche Bote’. Both texts are among the earliest examples of secular didactic literature in the German vernacular and are therefore essential for our understanding of the way vernacular didacticism came into its own in the Middle Ages. While both have been mentioned from time to time in recent scholarship, these arguments tend to be based on assumptions made about the texts in the 1930s to 1970s, which were both flawed and built around unrevised literary categories. https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110650068-008 The Sitz im Leben of medieval vernacular didactic poetry, that is, the social relevance of these texts by the time they were produced, is not easily established.
