Edmund Stengel

Edmund Max Stengel was a Romance philologist who specialized in studies of Chanson de geste. He published an exact transcript of the Bodleian Library manuscript of the Chanson de Roland in 1878, also photographing the entire manuscript. He later published a scholarly edition, the first volume of which was published in 1900. His library was donated to the Archives of the Catholic University of Louvain-la-Neuve upon his death; its contents are listed in the inventory there.
