| Summary: | The middle ages obtained exempla of virtue and wisdom from several sources: the Holy Bible, history or literature. Among them are for instance king Arthur, Diedrich from Berne (Dietrich von Bern) and - Salomon. His wisdom is well known as well from the texts of the Old Testament as from legendary and literary sources. The middle ages created an interesting counterpart to Solomon: the rustic, foolish, and obscene, but intelligent and witty Marcolf. Literary texts in Latin and the vernacular from the 11th to the 16th century present this figure in situations of intellectual conflict with king Solomon. In the centre of the following paper we put the "Markolfs Buch" from the middle of the 14th century, a literary text which provides us with a revealing insight to the confrontation between these contrary figures. Our interpretation leads us to the question: is there but one figure of Solomon in the middle ages - or are there different types of Solomon: the wise ruler? Or: the witty conterpart to Markolf? |
