This paper deals with chosen aspects of retextualisation strategies, shown in the example of Gottfried's epigones. The leading question is the relationship between the so-called »materia « and »artificium«, whereby different statements concerning the dichotomy are to be presented. As the artistic intentions are often presented in the prologues, we point out the different positions of Ulrich and Heinrich, who completed Gottfried's novel. The perception of the »materia« by the Czech »interpreter« is to be illustrated by the example of the potion-episode. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
