This compendium is the first work to provide a complete and methodologically reflected documentation of the maxims and sayings in medieval German Arthurian romances. A differentiated listing collects the maxims, reflects their narrative context, gives a semantic explanation via a paraphrase, locates them in the aphoristic network of the relevant text by pointing to parallel passages, and locates them in the tradition of their usage.
