"Der griechische Physiologus", "Der jungere deutsche Physiologus" (The Greek Physiologus, the younger [Middle High] German Physiologus).

But for this I tried, for the first time, to determine exactly for all the chapters of the Physiologus to what extent each individual animal history of the Physiologus can actually be proven from older authors, or to what extent the presentation of the Physiologus often represents a further stage of development of the same, which we know - at least not known from the Greek and Roman literature that has come down to us. I probably don't need to expressly state that I'm not dealing with any passages that I didn't get to know directly in the original and its context. Where in the discussion of individual texts I agree on one point with some special publication on the subject, this is the case Of course, always expressly noted; By the way, I also carried out the examination again everywhere on my own. One will find it understandable that, as a German scholar, I have brought together more examples from Middle High German than from foreign literature for the presentation in the second chapter of the second part; The overall picture would not be different even if it were distributed differently, as the interspersed foreign examples show. - [Author]
