The sermon is essentially a performance and oscillates between orality and scripturality. The preaching of Geiler of Kaysersberg was a famous event at its time and the article asks, what is transmitted of it by the manuscripts and printed books. The writing does not try to reproduce the event, resp. the performance, but represents different reflections of it, adapted to the intended usage of the manuscript or printed book. The article demonstrates this on several examples from the work of Geiler and pleads for a diplomatic rendering of the manuscripts with a commentary and a facsimile edition of the printed books respectively. The results could refer to other texts between orality and scripturality, too.
