Böhme, in his edition of Erk’s Deutscher Liederhort, I, 118-146, 1893, prints twenty German versions under numbers 41, 42. Of these 41i, 42k, 42i are of oral derivation, and 42h is from Erk’s papers. Böhme notes two other copies taken down from singing, and one in MS., which he does not give. Judging by what has been given, what has been withheld must be of trifling value.
