It originated in Old French, likely in the late 12th or early 13th centuries (see Speer and Foehr-Janssens, pp. 64-74), and was eventually translated into [[Middle English Version A\|English]], [[French Version A: Roman des Sept Sages\|French]], [[German Version A: Allegatio/Libellus\|German]], [[Latin Version A: Allegatio / Libellus\|Latin]], [[Dutch Version A\|Dutch]], [[Old Swedish Version A\|Swedish]], [[Italian Version A\|Italian]], and [[Welsh Version A: Chwedleu Seith Doethon Rufein\|Welsh]]. There is a consensus in scholarship that this version was also the source for the enormously popular [[H (Historia Septem Sapientum)\|Versions H]] and I as well as [[M ('Male Marastre')\|M]], which may all be taken as variations on the theme demonstrated by the Version A pattern. By this note, Version A of the ''Seven Sages of Rome'' is singularly influential in its spread and impact.

	The original Old French prose redaction of Version A likely shared a source with [[K (Sept Sages de Rome)\|Version K]], and that text presumably also shared a source with [[C (Sept Sages de Rome)\|Versions C]] and [[D (Sept Sages de Rome)\|D]]. This proximity is assessed partially on the basis of embedded stories, and their order within the frame narrative. For example, Version A has the same embedded stories as Versions K and D, but their order differs. [[L (Sept Sages de Rome)\|Version L]], on the other hand, has exactly the same stories in the same order as Version A for the first 11 stories, but then varies dramatically, omitting [[Vidua]] and [[Vaticinium]] and instead including [[Filia]] and [[Noverca]]. Of all of these early Old French redactions, however, it was Version A that spread most rapidly and widely.		The original Old French prose redaction of Version A likely shared a source with [[K (Sept Sages de Rome)\|Version K]], and that text presumably also shared a source with [[C (Sept Sages de Rome)\|Versions C]] and [[D (Sept Sages de Rome)\|D]] ([[Foehr-Janssens (1994)\|Foehr-Janssens, 1994;]] [[Speer (1981)\|Speer, 1981)]]. This proximity is assessed partially based on linguistic detail, and partially on the basis of embedded stories and their order within the frame narrative. For example, Version A has the same embedded stories as Versions K and D, but their order differs. [[L (Sept Sages de Rome)\|Version L]], on the other hand, has exactly the same stories in the same order as Version A for the first 11 stories, but then varies dramatically, omitting [[Vidua]] and [[Vaticinium]] and instead including [[Filia]] and [[Noverca]] (see the information about the [[Overlap of Versions A and L]] for more details about the relationship between these two, and their mingling in some manuscripts).
