Helmut de Boor Books
March 24, 1891 – August 4, 1976
Helmut de Boor was a distinguished German medievalist whose scholarship primarily explored heroic literature and the philology of Old Norse and German. He delved deeply into the study of medieval sagas and epic poems, notably dedicating significant effort to the Nibelungenlied. His prolific career produced not only revisions of seminal medieval texts but also an extensive history of German literature, focusing on the early Middle Ages and Middle High German poetry. De Boor's rigorous philological approach and profound understanding of medieval literary traditions left an indelible mark on Germanic studies.
