Bell, C: Sister's Son in the Medieval German Epic

Excerpt from The Sister's Son in the Medieval German Epic: A Study in the Survival of Matriliny

An alphabetical list of the epics read in this investigation, including the longer narrative poems of secular literature up to the beginning of the 14th century, will be found appended, although by no means all of these furnish illustration. Relig ious epics, with few exceptions, have been omitted. A list of general works consulted is dispensed with; such bibliographies are available elsewhere.

The writer desires to express his appreciation to Professor Hugo K. Schilling, who awakened his interest in the topic, and to whose generous help and criticism he owes the completion of the following pages.
