How closely interlinked are natural philosophy and the German-speaking literature of the Middle Ages? Looking specifically at the theory of the four elements, this volume seeks to answer this question by describing the connections between literature and general knowledge. Insights achieved by scholars working in Latin did not find occasional expression in vernacular literature rather, they exerted a decisive influence on the German language.
