von Straßburg or von Stassburg[edit]

I am going to move the page to "Gottfried von Strassburg" from "Gottfried von Straßburg". While the latter seems to be common in current German, it is not so in English, even in the circles where Gottfried is well known. All English editions of Tristan I've ever seen use "Strassburg", including A. T. Hatto's common one. He is also listed under "Gottfried von Strassburg" in Norris J. Lacey's standard reference The New Arthurian Encyclopedia. I think this is enough to demonstrate that he has a common name in English.--Cúchullain ^t/c 02:08, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
