dc.descriptionThe Heliand is a gospel harmony written in alliterative verse, and a very loose translation of the Latin Diatessaron. In total, 5,983 lines have been preserved, in six manuscripts: C (Cotton), M (Monacensis), S (Straubing), V (Vatican), P (Prague), and L (Leipzig). The S, V, P and L manuscripts are extremely limited in extent, and none of them contains a continuous stretch of more than a hundred lines. The M and C manuscripts are the main witnesses to the text. While the M manuscript contains a number of gaps, the C manuscript (Cotton Caligula A VII, British Library) is complete up to line 5,968. The text is divided into 71 sections, called fitts. There exist two main editions of the Heliand: Sievers (1878), a broadly diplomatic edition of manuscripts C and M, and Behaghel (1903 and subsequent editions), the standard critical edition. This corpus contains all 5,968 lines of the C manuscript of the Heliand, using the Sievers (1878) edition. Compared to the standard Behaghel critical edition, this one has the advantages for linguistic research that a) it does not conflate the different forms found in different manuscripts, b) it is not as heavily emended, and c) it is now in the public domain. The corpus is a UTF-8 plain text file designed to be searched using the program CorpusSearch 2, with the standard extension .psd, broadly following the format of the Penn Corpora of Historical English and related projects (IcePaHC, Early New High German Parsed Corpus, MCVF). It is annotated on a number of levels: - Textual and metrical (page in manuscript, page in edition, line number, caesura) - Lemmatization - Parts of speech and morphology - Syntactic parsing The total size of the corpus is 46,067 words (not including punctuation and code).
