"Er ist ein wol gevriunder man" - Essays in Honor of Ernst S. Dick on the Occasion of His Eightieth Birthday
Edited by Karen McConnell and Winder McConnell. While the majority of the 23 contributions to the volume (six of which are in German) reflect Ernst Dick's interest in medieval literature and culture, the collection also includes essays by his admirers in a variety of other fields.
