Die Neuausgabe des "Lucidarius" ersetzt den "unzureichenden Textabdruck" (J. Bumke) von Felix Heidlauf aus dem Jahr 1915, dem wesentliche Passagen des ursprünglichen Textes, z.B. über die Antipoden, fehlen. Sie erstellt einen autornahen Text aus der Kenntnis der gesamten erhaltenen handschriftlichen Überlieferung, worüber eine ausführliche Einleitung Rechenschaft gibt; und sie bietet zudem ein vollständiges Wörterbuch (von D. Gottschall), das U. Goebels Wortindex von 1975 zur Heidlaufschen Ausgabe weitgehend überflüssig macht.

The German »Lucidarius« is both a continuation of the educational works of Honorius of Autun at the vernacular level and a new departure in terms of conception and systematic approach. Drawing on further sources, notably William of Conches' »Philosophia«, it succeeds in establishing a new scientific emphasis in comparison with Honorius' »Elucidarium«. In its educational approach it is modeled on monastic didactics. Alongside the inclusion of the Latin source texts, the commentary centres on the author's achievement in communicating the knowledge of his day and the specific place occupied by the work in the context of 12th century language and literature.

Volume 35-38,IV in the series Texte und Textgeschichte
The Lucidarius, a 12th century compendium of knowledge about God, the universe and salvation, was one of the most successful German books up into the modern age. Its origin is linked with the name of Henry the Lion. This volume covers the medieval manuscript transmission of the Lucidarius and explores its readership, geographical impact and text reception. 46 illustrations and maps, tables and manuscript stemmata are included in the work. Two essays on the oldest world map in a German text and the prologues A and B ‑ so important for the history of the manuscript transmission ‑ round off the study.
