Eulenspiegel, Till

(tl oi´ln-shp´´gl) (KEY) [Ger.,=owl-mirror, hence English Owlglass], a north 
German peasant clown of the 14th cent. who was immortalized in chapbooks 
describing his practical jokes on clerics and townsfolk. The first Till 
chapbook (c.1500) was probably in Saxon, but the story it told spread all 
over Europe and North Britain. Till is the hero of a tone poem by Richard 
Strauss and of many novels, poems, and stories. Tyll Ulenspiegel is one of 
the variant spellings. 1

See K. R. H. MacKenzie’s adaptation in English, Master Tyll Owlglass (1890).
