<dc:description>Minimal surfaces in the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group can be constructed by means of a Riemannian approximation scheme, as limit of Riemannian minimal surfaces. We study the regularity of Lipschitz, non-characteristic minimal surfaces which arise as such limits. Our main results are a-priori estimates on the solutions of the approxi mating Riemannian PDE and the ensuing $C^{\infty}$ regularity of the sub-Riemannian  minimal surface along its Legendrian foliation.</dc:description>
