Abstract

It is well known that many names are used in German Medieval literature referring to the Holy Virgin Mary not only to address her directly but also to deal with her and with her extraordinary qualities. But in spite of that, attempts of systematizing of these names are missing in order to provide answer to questions such as: Where those names do come from?, how many of them are native German names and how many borrowings?, is it possible to classify them into lexical fields?, and if so, which ones are mostly represented in the selected texts? To what extent can we talk of extended use basing on the amount of texts in which they appear? Questions like these are the aim of the present study.
