The Small Heidelberg Song Manuscript is a collection of medieval German love songs (a genre called Minnesang). It was compiled in Alsace around 1260-1270 and includes songs by thirty-four named poets. It is thus a hugely valuable resource for those studying this oral tradition. The songs–Minnelieder–often describe unrequited or forbidden love reflecting the interest in courtly love found throughout medieval Europe. The manuscript includes poems by Reinmar der Alte (Reinmar the Elder) and Walther von der Vogelweide, widely regarded as two of the greatest classical Minnesänger.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
