“Mauricius von Craûn”

To this day, “Mauricius of Craûn” still holds a number of research desiderata. Author and dating are undetermined, but also the purpose of this “Märe” is to be questioned. Records appeared late and thus provide little information for the research questions. The author’s approach to this “Märe” is to look at the characters as allegorical figures. This results in a new perspective and it also indicates the text’s closeness to the papal bull “Vox in Rama” in terms of language. Pachurka has already demonstrated the relationship between a Latin work of Heinrich von Avranches and Walther von der Vogelweide in 2020. Here, too, the linguistic proximity is obvious and quite deliberately chosen. This essay is intended as an impulse for thought, whereby the author can actually only serve as a likely thesis. However, the “Märe” “Mauricius of Craûn” would fit into the lifetime achievements of Heinrich von Avranches.
