It was based on a number of anecdotes influenced by Neidhart and had for its subject a priest (Gundacker von Thernberg, around 1330), who had actually lived in the Kahlenbergerdorf village near Vienna. The story was printed in Augsburg in 1473. Edition: V. Dollmayr, P. F., 1906. Literature: Deutsche Literatur des Mittelalters (lex.)
