Collection of Middle High German Rubrics in Miscellany Manuscripts 12th-16th centuries

This is a collection of Middle High German Rubrics from miscellany manuscripts. 

The corpus for this study comprises almost 1432 rubrics from 68 manuscripts, which correspond to over 800 different works. It was compiled manually using different sources. One important source were previous monographs that catalogued texts and rubrics in manuscripts (see bibliography). For less researched sources, library catalogues and digital manuscript facsimili were consulted. This is not an exhaustive corpus of Middle High German rubrics for Reimpaargedichte, but it has all the most important manuscripts and is very representative.
