Gugel after Hundeshagen’s Codex
This gugel is inspired by the Hundeshagen manuscript, namely the illumination called Arrival of Gunther and his companions in Iceland. This iluminated manuscript of the Song of the Nibelungs was written in the East-Swabian dialect in the time around 1440. It got its name after one of its owners, Bernhard Hundeshagen, who contributed to its restoration. Today it is preserved in the Royal Library in Berlin. More information...
