Die Quellen zu Longfellows Golden legend. Beilage zum Jahresb., Öffentl. Realsch. zu Dresden-Friedrichstadt

This academic monograph was published in 1897 as a supplement to the annual report of the Öffentliche Realschule in Dresden-Friedrichstadt. Authored by Friedrich Münzner, a teacher at the school, it represents the tradition of the 'Schulprogramm'—a German educational publication format where faculty members presented scholarly research alongside administrative updates. These documents served as a platform for secondary school educators to contribute to the humanities, demonstrating their ongoing academic engagement outside of classroom instruction.

The text provides a comparative source study of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s 1851 dramatic poem, 'The Golden Legend'. Münzner meticulously examines the medieval origins and literary inspirations behind Longfellow’s work, situating the American poet’s writing within the context of European folklore and religious history. The study reflects the rigorous, detail-oriented approach to literary analysis characteristic of late 19th-century German philology, intended primarily for an audience of local educators and fellow scholars interested in comparative literature.
