I also ended up ordering some Mittelhochdeutsch works, like Walther de Vogelweide, the Minnesänger generally, and Parzival. I already had the Nibelungenlied. Oddly, buying the German works in the original was vastly more expensive than buying Old French works. I don't know why that is.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Apparently the word "lay" meaning "story" comes from Irish "laid", meaning "song". *NM*
