This is volume 1 in The German Library in 100 Volumes. It includes a comprehensive foreword to the entire series by the general editor Volkmar Sanders. It also features the following works: The Older Lay of Hildebrand, The Nibelungenlied, The Younger Lay of Hildebrand, The Battle of Ravenna, Biterolf and Dietleib, and The Rose Garden (Version A). In many ways, German, as well as all modern Western literature, is grounded in the epic (or heroic) poetry of this seminal volume.
