| Summary: | To Barbara, Sally, Henrik. The saying of Terentianus Maurus, habent sua fata libelli, may well be applied to the Latin text here edited. Out of my studies of Berthold of Zwiefalten's Chronicle grew my thesis for the Ph. D. degree of the University of Tübingen, Studien zur Chronik Bertholds von Zwiefalten, published in Studien und Mitteilungen zur Geschichte des Benediktinerordens 51 (1933) 83–101 and 183–195. The subsequent work on the Chronicle and the relevant studies that appeared between 1933 and 1938 are described below in the Introduction. The political developments in Germany prevented me from bringing out the planned edition of the reconstructed Chronicle, and compelled me to be satisfied with the presentation in the Revue Bénédictine 50 (1938) 141–145, of the synopsis of my reconstruction with the first edition of 1852 in the Monumenta Germaniae Historica. In 1946–47 my fortune led me to Cornell University where the work in its present form was written. When preparing in 1953 the MS for the printer, I noticed in Wattenbach-Levison, Deutschlands Geschichtsquellen im Mittelalter I (Weimar 1952) 29 note 106, the edition by Erich König and Karl Otto Müller, Die Zwiefalter Chroniken Ortliebs und Bertholds (Schwäbische Chroniken der Stauferzeit 2; Stuttgart-Berlin 1941). Upon inquiry the W. Kohlhammer Verlag at Stuttgart informed me that their stock of the book had been destroyed during the war. Professor Dr. P. Gehring of the University Library at Tübingen then kindly mailed the surviving library copy of the book to Ithaca, New York, in January 1955. The examination of both Chronicles plainly showed me, a) that the text of Berthold's Chronicle edited by Erich König is basically the text of my first reconstruction, the MS of which I had turned over to E. König before I left Germany in August 1939, and b) that the Introduction to Berthold by Karl Otto Müller, also his re-evaluation of Ortlieb, often follow in word and contents my Tübingen Ph. D. Thesis of 1932. |
