Edition of Songs in Regenbogen's 'Brief- und Grundweise' and 'Grauer Ton'

The project compiles an edition of „Meisterlieder“ from three corpora („Töne“, which means the metrical and musical stanzaforms which were passed on from the High Medieval Sangspruch to the Late Medieval Meisterlied) delivered under the name of the poet Regenbogen (around 1300). The project follows issues from the DFG-project ‚Edition of Meisterlieder in the ‚Langer Ton‘ of Regenbogen‘ (since June 2015). These three „Töne“ include the ‚Graue Ton‘, the ‚Grundweise‘ (or ‚Kurzer Ton‘) and the ‚Briefweise‘ (or ‚Prüfweise‘), which goes back to the oldest manuscripts and probably to Regenbogen himself. With these three corpora, the edition of anonymous songs in the „Töne“ of Regenbogen will be complete. The „Töne“ attributed to Regenbogen belong to the most widespread type of „Meisterlieder“, but they have not yet been systematically worked on. In the case of Regenbogen, there is no reliable early transmission, and therefore almost no criterion for discussions about authenticity. Instead, it is useful to provide complete access to the Meisterlieder in the 13 „Töne“ attributed to him, which were widely spread: There are approximately 1500 anonymous stanzas in 62 manuscripts and printed books from all over the German speaking countries, as well as 190 Meisterlieder with 1763 stanzas by authors known by name, some of them in autographs (as the Hans-Sachs-manuscript Berlin, SBB-PK, mgq 414). As in the former project, the anonymous Meisterlieder in the three mentioned „Töne“ will be edited in printed and in digital form, the latter through the database of the DFG-project ‚Lyrik des deutschen Mittelalters‘ (LDM). In combination with the dissertation project of Nils Hansen (Akademie der Wissenschaften Göttingen), all the anonymous Meisterlieder in „Töne“ attributed to Regenbogen will be accessible in modern editions, thereby offering a complete corpus of Meistergesang.
