Medieval Bavarian litterateur; known for his compilation of the so-called "Lochheimer Liederbuch" (about 1450), a collection of medieval German folk-songs, numerically arranged. Under No. 15 appears the following dedication in Hebrew characters: "Der Allerliebsten Barbara Meinem Treuen Liebsten Gemaken," which seems to indicate that Wolflein was a Jew; as does also the expression "Vil guter Jar," which appears under No. 5, and which was used only by Jews. On the other hand, it is noteworthy that "Barbara" is not a current name among Jewish women, and that a Christian grace after meals appears under song No. 36.
