- Title
Naturkonzeption und Spracharbeit im půch von den naturleichen dingen Konrads von Megenberg.

- Abstract
Medieval 'books of natural things' contain various concepts of nature. On the one hand, there is the idea of nature as God's creation, on the other, the Aristotelian concept of nature shaped by causes and effects and by processes of growth and decline. Practical knowledge about animals pertaining, for instance, to medicine or hunting, appears in late medieval encyclopaedias as well. Konrad's book shows that these different concepts manifest themselves in the translation from the Latin sources into the vernacular. The choice of German equivalents for Latin words and phrases in Konrad's 'book of natural things' ist guided and shaped by a philosophical reflection upon varying concepts of nature.
