English Summary: The late medieval verse dialogue 'Christus und die minnende Seele' portrays the journey of the soul as the bride of Christ toward mystical union in a series of 20 to 24 individual scenes. This study provides for the first time a comprehensive examination of all manuscripts and prints containing the work. In addition, a thorough analysis of the context in which the text is embedded in the manuscrips and of the illustrated broadsheet reveals the late medieval approach to broader and often controversial themes such as mysticism and the role of visual images in religious life and practice. German Description: Der spatmittelalterliche Minnedialog 'Christus und die minnende Seele' schildert in 20 bis 24 Einzelszenen das Fortschreiten der Seele als sponsa auf dem Weg zur mystischen Vereinigung mit Christus. Die vorliegende Arbeit liefert erstmalig eine grundliche Untersuchung der gesamten Uberlieferung. Eine eingehende Analyse der Mituberlieferung und der Struktur und des Inhalts des Bilderbogens gewahrt ausserdem Einblicke in den spatmittelalterlichen Umgang mit damals oft umstrittenen Themen wie mystische Erfahrung und die Rolle von Bildern im religiosen Leben.
