Interdisciplinary cooperation enables the two authors to precicly localize and date one of the most lavishly produced manuscript of a medieval German epic during 15th century. With the combination of art-historical and linguistic methods the “Münchener Jüngere Titurel” (BSB, Cgm 8470) - hithero beliefed to be of Tyrolian or Vienese origin - was dated (c. 1430/35) and localized (Regensburg). The exemplary study proves the potential of cooperations within the humanities. In collaboration with an art historian and a linguist, one of the most beautiful 15th century epic manuscripts, the “Younger Titurel” from Munich, is both localized and dated. The respective methods put the mediaeval source at the center and come to the conviction in every single step of convincing arguments that the Codex was written around 1430/35 in Rgensburg. The study aims to show how great the potential of such collaborations across narrow technical boundaries is.
