Document Details : Title: De overlevering van pseudo-Taulerpreken in het handschrift Hildesheim, Dombibliothek, 724b en de Bazelse Taulerdruk (1521) Author(s): DIERCKX, Helga Journal: Ons Geestelijk Erf Volume: 84 Issue: 1 Date: Maart 2013 Pages: 20-40 DOI: 10.2143/OGE.84.1.2975521 Abstract : The Tauler manuscript Hildesheim, Dombibliothek, 724b (ca. 1450-1500) contains the largest medieval collection of sermons by Johannes Tauler, including a group of anonymous texts and texts attributed to other mystic and Dominican authors, such as Jan van Ruusbroec, Rulman Merswin and Heinrich von Löwen. As for the authentic Tauler sermons, the Hildesheim manuscript is highly similar to the Middle Dutch Tauler manuscripts. The collection of additional sermons in the manuscript, on the other hand, is closely related to a group of 44 pseudo-Tauler sermons in the second part of the Basel Tauler print (1521). Aside from the Hildesheim manuscript and the Basel Tauler print, this collection of ‘Pseudo-Tauleriana’ can partially be found in a small number of Middle Dutch (Tauler) manuscripts, the 15th century High German manuscript Basel, University Library, O III 19, and the 16th century Low German manuscript Osnabrück, Staatsarchiv, Rep. 2 nr. 1. Several indications point to a German rather than Middle Dutch origin of the collection. |
