English description: The work in hand for the first time offers a complete edition of the Solsequium, a Latin collection of exempla, which Hugo von Trimberg composed around the year 1284. The edition is meant to help clarify the Latin writings of the Bamberg school teacher who so far has been known mainly to Germanists for his authorship of the Renner. Additionally, this book intends to define more precisely the position of his work among the collections of exempla, a genre, which reached its peak at his time and was deeply influenced by the needs of the mendicant orders. German description: Die vorliegende Arbeit bietet erstmals eine Gesamtausgabe des Solsequium, einer lateinischen Exempelsammlung, die Hugo von Trimberg (um 1230/40 bis nach 1313) um 1284 verfasste. Die Edition soll dazu verhelfen, das Bild vom lateinischen Schaffen des Bamberger Schulmeisters zu scharfen, der bislang vor allem der Germanistik als Autor des ‘Renner’ bekannt ist. Daruber hinaus soll seine Position innerhalb der in dieser Zeit in voller Blute stehenden, insbesondere von den Bedurfnissen der Bettelorden gepragten Gattung der Exempelsammlungen naher bestimmt werden.
