There is also a chapter on two Latin works ( Waitharius and Ruodlieb) which may be regarded as learned offshoots of the vernacular tradition. Most of the works of the period demand a strict philological treatment, but an aesthetic evaluation is attempted for such works as the Old Saxon biblical epics, the minor Old High German religious poems, and the unique masterpiece the Hildebrandslied.

Collins, Roger VISIGOTHIC SPAIN 409 - 711
Blackwell Publishers 2004 0631181857 / 9780631181859 Hardcover Near Fine with no dust jacket
Minor bumping to top corners. ; Between the end of Roman rule in the early fifth century and the Arab conquest in the eighth, Spain's destiny lay with the Visigoths, a confederacy of different ethnic groups formed in the Balkans in the later fourth century. Taking account of important new documentary evidence and of the latest archaeological findings, the author presents a wealth of original theories, challenging many traditional assumptions about Visigothic Spain about how the Visigothic kingdom was governed, law in the kingdom, the nature and methods of the Arab conquest, and the rise of Spain as an intellectual force in the West. The book falls into two parts: the first providing a chronological overview of political and military events; the second reviewing the evidence for social life and organization in Visigothic Spain. A historiographical introduction summarizes the current state of research on the history and archaeology of the period. ; A History of Spain; 272 pages

Dissen, Margret RÖMISCHE KOLLEGIEN UND DEUTSCHE GESCHICHTSWISSENSCHAFT IM 19. UND 20. JAHRHUNDERT
Franz Steiner Verlag 2009 3515093877 / 9783515093873 Hardcover Fine with no dust jacket
Historia - Einzelschriften 209; 337 pages; The historiographical representation of organizations of the urban Roman people reflects the growth of knowledge of German ancient history since the mid-19th Century, as well as the zeitgeist-directed conditions of research and reflection. The author transposes a historical and theoretical disciplinary matrix (Rusen / Blanken) to a subject of ancient history and brings historical culture and social practice into systematic context, showing alternating and coexisting historical paradigms. By including the semantic dimension of research contributions into the scientific and historical reconstruction, language and thought patterns of researchers become transparent. The observation of knowledge-guiding metaphors and the analysis of narrative style allow for a peak behind the scenes of guiding principles. German text.
