Thus, while debunking the disinterestedness claimed by modernist philology, the essay attests to the enduring success of philological editorial practice regarding this specific late medieval poem.}, number={2}, journal={Florilegium}, author={Utz, Richard}, year={2006}, month={Jun.}, pages={27–45} }
