I am preparing a paper for my doctoral exam in Comparative Literature and
was wondering if anybody was familiar enough with the status and
distribution of monastic houses in Germany at the turn of the thirteenth
century to speculate as to the control they might have exercised over lay
education at the time. I am particularly interested in determining any
specific theological influences on the work of Wolfram von Eschenbach, whose
major patron was Landgrave Hermann of Thuringia. Any references would be
helpful.
