!!!Frankfurter, Philipp

Frankfurter, Philipp, d. 1511, Viennese author of comic tales who 
came from Frankfurt or Regensburg. Around 1470 wrote a very satirical 
and highly popular farcical story "Des pfaffen geschicht und histori 
vom Kalenberg" (the story of the priest from the Kalenberg; 2,180 
irregular 4-foot rhyming couplets). 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.
