Welsh Version A: Chwedleu Seith Doethon Rufein

2026-03-23T15:29:52Z

Boettcher:

{{Secondary Version
|Has Description=The Welsh version of the ''Seven Sages'' narrative, ''Chwedleu Seith Doethon Rufein,'' derives from the [[French Version A: Roman des Sept Sages|French Version A ''Sept Sages'']] tradition, according to [[Gadsden (2021)]]. It survives in [[Middle Welsh Version A|three manuscripts dating from the late fourteenth to late fifteenth centuries,]] as well as several [[Early Modern and Modern Welsh Version A|early modern and modern manuscripts dating from the 16th to 19th centuries]]. One of the three medeival manuscripts, [[Oxford Bodleian Library Jesus College MS. 111|Jesus College 111]], is known as the ''Llyfr Coch Hergest'' (The Red Book of Hergest), and is 'considered to be one of the greatest medieval literary treasures of Wales, containing as it does early Welsh vernacular poetry, historical texts, the Mabinogi, the Charlemagne cycle, medical instructions, agricultural advice, prophecies, proverbs, a substantial amount of ‘hengerdd’, the earliest Welsh poetry and a text on grammar' (Gadsden 2021 p. 37). Across all three medieval manuscripts, the ''Chwedleu Seith Doethon Rufein'' sits alongside a mixture of instructional or religious texts, short poems, Arthurian material, traditional Welsh legends, and proverbs.

Though the Welsh ''Seven Sages'' is much shorter than any of its potential French parent texts, the Welsh redactor - identified in one manuscript as 'Llewelyn Offeiriad' (Llewelyn the Priest) - was clearly conversant in French literary style. The ''Chwedleu'' echoes stylistic elements of the French parent text, but blended with traditional Welsh narrative forms and structures (sometimes replicating passages from earlier Welsh texts word for word). The redactor also introduced several distinctive elements into the text that distinguish it from other Version A texts. This is immediately obvious from the embedded tales. After the first six tales, which follow the expected Version A pattern, the text then includes [[Ramus]] ''-'' a tale unique to the ''Chwedleu'', replacing Avis - and also a distinctive version of [[Roma and Lupus|Roma]]. The rest of the tales are in an unconventional order, and, according to Gadsden, 'some are modified, with their moral or message shifting, thereby altering their impact' (p. 65). This includes the rare event of a story - Roma - that is traditionally told by the Empress instead being told by one of the sages.

Other noteworthy details unique to the ''Chwedleu'' include the fact that the Emperor's first wife is given a name, Eua, or Eve (possibly a misreading of a passage from [[Paris Bibliothèque nationale de France, français 2137]], according to Gadsden, p. 65). The text includes a unique digression in which the Empress searches for information about whether or not the Emperor can sire children, and learns (to her joy) of the existence of his son from a witch ('a horrid, toothless, one-eyed hag', Gadsden 2021 p. 247) - a passage lifted from the traditional tale ''Culhwch ac Olwen''. The ''Chwedleu'' omits the name of the young seer who solves the mystery in [[Sapientes]]'','' which the French text gives as Merlin; however, a Welsh literary audience would already have been familiar with the figure of 'Myrddin' as a Wild Man of the Woods character (predating Geoffrey of Monmouth's ''Vita Merlini''), so the choice to leave the seer-child anonymous may have been an expedient way of avoiding confusion. A similar aim may have underscored the decision to omit [[Avis]], [[Gadsden (2020)|Gadsden]] suggests (2021, p. 124). Gadsden notes that the well-known tale of Branwen, from the second branch of the Mabinogi, features a wronged wife whose is saved from torture by a talking starling who truly reports her innocence. This is, of course, the inverse of Avis ''-'' Gadsden suggests that the familiarity with this narrative may have prompted the Welsh redactor to omit the tale. Taken in sum, the Welsh text seems to have been intentionally adapted to suit the late medieval Welsh literary audience.

Though not discussed in Gadsden's work (which, as the most recent, and only extensive English scholarship devoted to the material, has been a key source for this database), the [[Early Modern and Modern Welsh Version A|Early Modern Welsh manuscripts]] appear to have continued the narrative and codicological trends of the earlier Middle Welsh texts. The five sixteenth-century manuscripts discussed by Henry Lewis, and edited in his two editions ([[Lewis, Y Seithwyr Doethion (1925)]] and [[Lewis, Modern Welsh Versions (1929)]]) appear to follow the same story-order found in the earlier mansucripts, including their anomalous stories. These versions of the ''Ystori Saith Doethion Rufain'' also usually are found in miscellanies, in company with a range of other Welsh texts.

Latin Version A: De Septem Sapientibus

Boettcher:

{{Secondary Version
|Has Description=There are a handful of different Latin versions of the ''Seven Sages'' narrative that follow the pattern of stories are found in [[A (Seven Sages)|Version A]]. The manuscripts usually titled ''De Septem Sapientibus'' include the fifteenth-century [[Dublin Trinity College Library Ms 667|Trinity College Dublin text]] and the [[Uppsala Universitetsbiblioteket Cod. C 7]], closely replicate the pattern as established in the [[French Version A: Roman des Sept Sages|French Version A]]. Greene notes the parallels between the Trinity manuscript witness in particular, and the (much later) [[Scots Gaelic Version A|Gaelic text]], and (given that the Gaelic does not appear to be a translation from the [[Middle English Version A]] texts) suggests that this Latin version may be a source for the Gaelic Version A. See [[Greene (1944)]].

Dutch Version A

2026-03-11T15:15:58Z

Boettcher:

{{Secondary Version
|Has Description=The only extant textual witness of the Dutch Version A - as of yet - is a manuscript that contains a 4514 lines long verse adaptation of the [[French Version A: Roman des Sept Sages|French Prose Version A]] (see [[Schlusemann (2025)|Schlusemann 2025]]: 5), called ''vii. vroeden van binnen Rome''. The manuscript is dated around 1325–1350 (see [[Schlusemann (2023a)|Schlusemann 2023a]]: 123, [[Schlusemann (2025)|Schlusemann 2025]]: 17). According to linguistic features, though, it is said to have emerged in the second quarter of the 13th century, and an earlier reference to the ''VII vroede te Rome'' also attests a circulation of a Dutch Version already within the 13th century (see Schlusemann 2025: 2). It is the oldest known Dutch version and is considered an adaptation (rather than a translation) of a [[French Version A: Roman des Sept Sages|French Prose A]] text (possibly the manuscript ''[[Paris Bibliothèque nationale de France, français 95]]'' or one that is closely related to ''fr. 95'' – see Schlusemann 2023a: 123; Schlusemann 2025: 5,9).

The verse version differs in some aspects from the later Dutch Seven Sages texts which are all part of the [[H (Historia Septem Sapientum)|Historia septem sapientum (Version H)]]: the plea of the Emperor’s first wife not to raise her son by a new Empress, as well as the Empress’s lover and their unmasking are missing here. There is also a speech by the Empress at the end where she begs the Emperor for mercy and tries to explain her behaviour as motivated by a feeling of alienation and fear for her husband’s honour. Her death penalty is postponed for 40 days and the narrator regrets that she (ab)uses her intelligence for lying and devious acts (see Schlusemann 2023a: 123–124). Another notable aspect is that the Empress does not tell a story on the 7th Day. Aligning with the French tradition, only the seventh Master tells a story (>Vidua<) while the Empress returns on Day 8 with the story >Roma< (see Schlusemann 2025: 23–24).

Dutch Version A

2026-03-11T14:56:16Z

Boettcher: Replacing embedded stories

{{Secondary Version
|Has Description=The only extant textual witness of the Dutch Version A - as of yet - is a manuscript from the 2nd quarter of the 14th century which contains a verse adaptation of the [[French Version A: Roman des Sept Sages|French Prose Version A]] (see [[Schlusemann (2025)|Schlusemann 2025]]: 5), but an earlier reference to the ''VII vroede te Rome'' attests a circulation of a Dutch Version already within the 13th century (see Schlusemann 2025: 2). Another indicator are linguistic features that argue for an origin within the 2nd half of the 13th century (see [[Schlusemann (2023a)|Schlusemann 2023a]]: 123).

German Version A: Allegatio/Libellus

2026-03-05T13:36:35Z

Boettcher:

{{Secondary Version
|Has Description=In 1997, Steinmetz produced [[Steinmetz, Der 'Libellus muliebri nequitia plenus' (1997)|a parallel-text edition]] of the German version A text, alongside the [[Latin Version A|Latin text]] which was assumed to be its source in the edition. Dicscovering a second Latin manuscript containing the ''Allegatio'' in 1998, Roth and Steinmetz correct this assumption being able to provide the newly discovered second Latin manuscript as the source for the two German manuscripts (see Roth/ Steinmetz 1998: 307, 312f.)

[ in progress: Steinmetz refers to this version of the narrative as ''Libellus muliebri nequitia plenus'', though it is also referred to as ''Allegatio septem saptientum,'' and he suggests the parallel edited Latin version was composed in the 14th century, and translated into the Bavarian/Bavarian-Austrian dialect sometime early in the 15th century. The German ''Libellus'' survives in two manuscripts; Steinmetz uses [[St. Florian Stiftsbibliothek Cod. XI. 549]] as the base text for his edition. Both manuscript witnesses of the ''Libellus'' are integrated into the frame of the German ''Gesta Romanorum'', but unlike some of the other ''Seven Sages/Sieben Weise Meister'' versions found in the ''Gesta'', this version closely follows the [[A (Seven Sages)|Version A]] narrative pattern. The exception to this is the inclusion of the story [[Mercator]] in place of [[Puteus]], and a slight reordering of the stories (the order of [[Gaza]] and [[Senescalcus]], which are usually stories 5 and 7, respectively, is here reversed).

The inclusion of Mercator instead of Puteus is a pattern also replicated in some of the [[Italian Version A]] texts, in particular the [[Italian Prose A]] and the [[Storia favolosa di Stefano]]. The contemporary composition timeframes, and the fact that the Latin ''Allegatio/Libellus'' text - the source for the German version - was composed in Northern Italy, we may perhaps hypothesize about the Mercator/Puteus change across all of these text as a signal of shared narrative inheritance.]

|Has Note=* The full title - took from the ESTC entry (T505838) - does not mention women. Instead, the neutral "counsellors" is used. The potential reader is also teased with "cuts expressing the history", so the woodcuts serve as further advertisement: ''Roman stories: or The history of the seven wise masters of Rome: containing seven days entertainment, in many pleasant and witty tales and stories; wherein the treachery of evil counsellors is discovered, innocency cleared, and the wisdom of the seven wise masters displayed. Newly corrected and better explained and enlarged; and adorned with cuts expressing the history.''
* The imprint also mentions ''The history of the seven wise mistresses'': "London : printed and sold by J. Hollis, No.21, Shoemaker-Row, Black-Friars. Where also may be had The history of the seven wise mistresses" (from ESTC T505838).

{{Secondary Version
|Has Description=The Midland Version is part of the [[Middle English Version A]] tradition and only survived in one manuscript (D), [[Cambridge University Library MS Dd.1.17|MS Dd.1.17]], located at the University Library in Cambridge. According to [[Whitelock (2005)|Whitelock]], the Midland Version has either been adapted from an unknown Middle English parent version x or directly from the French prose version A (see Whitelock 2005: xli), although it “consistently diverges from the common Old French original” more than any of the other extant texts (Whitelock 2005: xx). Either way, it is distinct from the [[Y Group|Y-Group]], to which the other Middle English versions belong. Whitelock calls the Midland Version “the most original of the Middle English versions in terms of narrative strategy” (Whitelock 2005: xix) and the redactor of D seems to be rather inclined to provide the female characters with a happy ending (see Whitelock 2005: lii).
