Other sources into the High Middle Ages outside the traditional categories of German literature or otherwise lost include the posited Iringlied, which may or may not have existed as such, but there probably was a heroic legend either written or oral and mentioned by Gregory of Tours and later by Widukind of Corvey, detailing the downfall of the Thuringians in 531; two vitae of Mathilde composed in the largely-Latinate interim between OHG and MHG textual traditions; psalm translations and other biblical fragments; passion plays; fragments of Sedulius' Carmen Paschale; Der arme Hartmann's Rede vom Glauben; and Wernher von Elmendorf's Tugendlehre. The latter two are noteworthy, the first for the difficulty in ascribing a transmission history to East Middle German on the basis of a thirteenth-century Alsatian witness and other factors, and the second for the rare combination of composer, commissioner, and place of origin within the 1170/80 text, a versification and catalog of the Moralium dogma philosophorum. This serves as a point of departure for a thorough discussion of the Ludowing landgraviate, whose literary tastes and sponsorship over the twelfth century developed a small regional literature composed primarily of religious texts and translation.
