This study investigates the communicational and constitutive dimensions of version *C of the Nibelungenlied and Klage as part of a conversation concerning appropriate forms of narration. It looks specifically at material findings, interrelational features of the Nibelungenlied and Klage, factors shaping their literarization, plus/minus material with a view to formal, substantive, and narrative aspects, and properties of their mediality.
