Note 11 — Chapter XI · WÄLSCH-TIROL. THE WÄLSCH-TIROLISCHE ETSCHTHAL AND ITS TRIBUTARY VALLEYS.
Reading edition
This is a local application of the widespread myth of the tailor, who kills ‘seven at one blow,’ identified by Vonbun (p. 71–2) with the Sage of Siegfried. Prof. Zarncke has also written a great deal to show Tirol’s place in the Nibelungenlied.
