The Deeds of Wiprecht

Scribe-Compiler

'For the sake of your salvation,' he said, 'since we just proved by this test that you are blessed.'
; he was the first to give to the monastery of Pegau a privilege, which was procured by Wiprecht, the founder of that monastery and afterwards margrave in Lusatia

Analysis

These "seams" we feel certain originate latest, and reflect the work not of an early compiler fitting independent texts into a narrative of Wiprecht's life, but of the later scribe who made a clean copy of the whole corpus of texts, inserts, and marginal notes preserved at Pegau by the mid-twelfth century.
