This is a facsimile of the C manuscript of the Middle High German dramatic tale of the
demiseof the hero Siegfired and how his widow avenged his death, followed by a lament
recounting those events. There are several versions of these texts (this one being the
longest), so that it is necessary to be able to compare the various early manuscripts --
a task facilitated by facsimiles.
