Latin Mishle Sendebar
The Latin translation of Mishle Sendebar exists in one manuscript, composed in 1407 near Bergamo, Italy. According to Hilka, it begins in media res part of the way through the standard opening of the Mishle Sendebar frame narrative, after the initial introduction of the prince, of Sendebar (here Syndebar, or Sindebar), and of the plans for his education. It is also noteworthy that the conclusion of the Latin text is somewhat distinct from that of the Hebrew Mishle Sendebar texts. Rather than concluding with the Group A stories Senex Caecus and Vulpes, or the stories Jusjurandum, Fur et Luna, or Ingenia found in the Group B texts, the Latin translator instead added Inclusa - a narrative found ubiquitously in the Western branch of the tradition.
