The Nibelungenlied

Mowatt,D.G. (Translator and Editor)
1965 (Reprint). Dent & Sons Ltd , London, England

No.312 in the Everyman's Library follows closely the standard critical edition of Bartsch as revised by de Boor.Originally written "by an unknown author in the twelfth century, This powerful tale of murder and revenge reaches back to the earliest epochs of German antiquity, transforming centuries-old legend into a masterpiece of chivalric drama." Comparable in scope to the Iliad, this is an excellent,, readable compact copy and surprisingly scarce in this form.
