The Old Yiddish 'Widuwilt'. Edition, Transliteration, Translation, and Commentary

古老的意第绪语亚瑟王传奇《Widuwilt》是一位犹太作家对中古高地德语文学伪文本的最复杂、最具创造性和原创性的改编之一，这些作品是从前现代传播而来的。这个中世纪晚期的文本是一个理想的对象，从语言学，文化和史学的角度来看，大量的问题。尽管其意义重大，但迄今为止，该文本还没有从语言学上获得。没有统一的、现代的版本。研究这段传奇的学者--尤其是来自德国文学研究或历史的学者--仍然必须使用一两个文本来源的过时音译，而无法调查完整的传播，也无法接触到希伯来字母中的意第绪语文本。该项目旨在纠正这种情况，制作一个新版本的中世纪晚期/现代早期的浪漫，其中包含从传输手稿的文本以及从最早的印刷版本的文本。该项目将在当前和最新研究的基础上创建一个可靠的文本，这将使该版本的用户能够访问浪漫故事，因为它是在自己的时间写下来并收到的。另外将意第绪语文本音译成拉丁字母将使其也适合不知道如何阅读希伯来字母的读者。此外，附录还将包含现代德语的译文、评注以及专有名称和地名索引。在项目完成并出版该版本后，来自意第绪语研究和犹太研究的学者，以及来自德国文学研究，历史和翻译研究的学者将首次能够使用一个语言学上可靠的版本。该项目旨在促进各学科之间的交流，从而为开发新的研究模式创造可能性。通过呈现接近文本来源的文本，音译和翻译，该项目旨在使其对象可用于跨学科研究和一系列社会文化问题。

The Old Yiddish Arthurian Romance 'Widuwilt' is one of the most complex, creative, and original adaptations of a Middle High German literary hypotext by a Jewish author that have been transmitted from pre-modern times. This late medieval text is an ideal object for a great number of questions from a philological, cultural, and historiographical point of view. Despite its significance, the text has not been made accessible philologically so far. There is not consistent and modern edition. Scholars working with this romance - especially if they come from German Literary Studies or History - must still use out-dated transliterations of one or two textual sources without being able to survey the complete transmission and without having access to the Yiddish text in Hebrew letters. The project aims to rectify this situation by producing a new edition of the late medieval/early modern romance which contains the text from the transmitted manuscripts as well as the text from the earliest printed edition. The project will create a dependable text on the basis of current and up-to-date research that will give the edition's users access to the romance as it was written down and received in its own time. The additional transliteration of the Yiddish text into the Latin alphabet will make it suitable also for readers who do not know how to read Hebrew letters. The appendix, moreover, will contain a translation into Modern German, a commentary, and an index of proper names and places. After the project has been completed and the edition has been published, scholars from Yiddish Studies and Jewish Studies, but also from German Literary Studies, History, and Translation Studies will for the first time be able to use a philologically reliable edition. The project aims to further the exchange between the disciplines and thereby to create possibilities to develop new modes of research. By presenting a text that is close to the textual sources, a transliteration, and a translation, the project intends to make its object available for interdisciplinary research and a whole range of socio-cultural questions.
