Abstract
Abstract “Barlaam und Josaphat,” probably written around or just after 1200 by Otto II Bischoff of Freising, contains 36 alliterating word-pairs, here collected and analyzed philologically for the first time, including comparison with earlier attestations of the pairs in German. The data include seven pairs recorded in “Barlaam and Josaphat” for the first time, and add to the over 1,500 word pairs documented here and in earlier studies for the earlier phases of German, while attesting to Otto’s propensity to use this rhetorical device in this work.
