„Any medievalist working in genres related to courtly love should welcome the publication of this nice edition by a paleographer of Huschenbett’s ability. One can only hope thet it will inspire the next generation of medievalists to reconsider the magic of the „Minnerede“ in the hands of a master like Johann von Konstanz.“<br/><br/>In: Speculum. April 2005. S. 596-597.
