_German Versions._--See _Lohengrin_, ed. Rückert (Quedlinburg and Leipzig, 1858); another version of the tale, _Lorengel_, is edited in the _Zeitschr. für deutsches Altertum_ (vol. 15); modern German translation of _Lohengrin_, by H. A. Junghaus (Leipzig, 1878); Conrad von Würzburg's fragmentary _Schwanritter_, ed. F. Roth (Frankfurt, 1861). Cf. Elster, _Beiträge zur Kritik des Lohengrin_ (Halle, 1884), and R. Heinrichs, _Die Lohengrindichtung und ihre Deutung_ (Hamm i. West., 1905). _French Versions._--Baron de Reiffenberg, _Le Chevalier au cygne et Godfrey de Bouillon_ (Brussels, 2 vols., 1846-1848), in _Mon. pour servir à l'hist. de la province de Namur_; C. Hippeau, _La Chanson du chevalier au cygne_ (1874); H. A. Todd, _La Naissance du chevalier au cygne, an inedited French poem of the 12th cent._ (Mod. Lang. Assoc., Baltimore, 1889); cf. the Latin tale by Jean de Haute Seille (Johannes de Alta Silva) in his _Dolopathos_ (ed. Oesterley, Strassburg, 1873). _English Versions._--In England the story first appears in a short poem preserved among the Cotton MSS. of the British Museum and entitled _Chevelere assigne_. This was edited by G. E. V. Utterson in 1820 for the Roxburghe Club, and again by H. H. Gibbs in 1868 for the Early English Text Society. The E.E.T.S. edition is accompanied by a set of photographs of a 14th-century ivory casket, on which the story is depicted in 36 compartments. An English prose romance, _Helyas Knight of the Swan_, translated by Robert Copland, and printed by W. Copland about 1550, is founded on a French romance _La Génealogie ... de Godeffroy de Boulin_ (printed 1504) and is reprinted by W. J. Thoms in _Early Prose Romances_, vol. iii. It was also printed by Wynkyn de Worde in 1512. A modern edition was issued in 1901 from the Grolier Club, New York. FOOTNOTES: [1] i.e. Garin le Loherin (q.v.), or Garin of Lorraine. [2] Elster (_Beiträge_) says that the poem is the work of two poets: the first part by a Thuringian wandering minstrel, the second--which differs in style and dialect--by a Bavarian official. [3] Based on material borrowed from the _Sächsische Weltchronik_ (formerly called _Repgowische Chronik_ from its dubious assignment to Eime von Repgow), the oldest prose chronicle of the world in German (c. 1248 or 1260).
