Dear listmembers,
I temporarily re-emerge from e-mail limbo to ask if anyone can help
me with the Middle-German extract below about St Elizabeth of
Thuringia (Hungary), which I found unreferenced in a book from the
early 1900s:
Si hiz ir balde machen
Nach fruntlichen sachen
Von silber lodec wize
Mit druwelichen flize
Deme Kinde ein zuberlin,
So ez wehes Kunde sin,
Da man iz inne mohte
Baden wan iz dohte.
Si hiz ouch balde bigen
Von silber eine wigen
In wunderlicher gunste
Nach meisterlicher kunste,
Da man daz Kint in legete,
So iz die amme degete
Unde mit der spune neme war.
(etc.)
If anyone could point me to the source, it would save me a lot of
trouble and I should be extremely grateful.

P.S. Although George told me it's OK, it still feels terribly
impolite to me to barge in out of limbo with questions like this (for
I shall have another one soon). My apologies!
