Oral-Formulaic Theory: Annotated Bibliography

Alain Renoir. The Kassel Manuscript and the Conclusion of the Hildebrandslied." Manuscripta, 23:104-8.

Argues for the received text of the Hildebrandslied as a complete poem rather than a fragment. Sees it as a finished version of a single oral-formulaic theme (cp. Renoir 1977a), that of the "hero on the beach" (Crowne 1960), from the story cycle of Dietrich von Bern.
