The famous expression diz vliegende bispel from Eschenbach’s Parzival is the volume’s watchword. In the poem the black and white plumage of the magpie represents it’s characteristic complexity, ambiguity, and ambivalence. Removed from it’s historical context it is also a figure of Arthur Groos’s wide-ranging intellectual flight. In addition to his work on medieval German verse narrative, he has made important contributions to courtly love poetry, medieval and early modern scientific literature, early modern German literature in general, and especially to opera. The essays honor him in all these areas.
