Geisslerlieder
| Sacred German monophonic songs of the Middle Ages in the Italian laude tradition and particularly cultivated at the time of the Black Death in 1349. The chief manuscript source is the Chronikon of Hugo von Reutlingen, which also describes how the singing was accompanied by penitential rites performed by the Geissler (‘flagellants’). |
