The two earliest printed editions,[REF] in Early New High German, "Ein kurtzweilig Lesen von Dyl Ulenspiegel, geboren uß dem Land zu Brunßwick, wie er sein leben volbracht hat .. ", are Johannes Grüninger's in Strassburg, 1510-11 and 1515.
The literal translation of the High German name "Eulenspiegel" is "owl mirror", two symbols that identify Till Eulenspiegel in popular woodcuts (illustration).
