In order to combine their facts and make sense of them, writers of history in the 16th century made use of literary genres and representational strategies. Using four chronicles, the 'Truchsessenchronik', Küng's Wurttemberg Chronicle, the 'Zollernchronik' and the 'Zimmerische Chronik', Professor Wolf examines the function of a literarisation of history, together with the political and dynastic interests involved and the authors' understanding of truth and their attempts to interpret the world.
The author holds a Chair in Old German Studies at the University of Bayreuth.
