	\|Has Description=The metrical Catalan text ''Libre'' (or ''Llibre'') ''dels Set Savi de Roma'' is an adaptation of the [[L (Sept Sages de Rome)\|Version L]] narrative. The poem - consisting of some 3244 octosyllabic rhyming lines - survives in two manuscripts, one fragmentary and one complete, dating from the late 13th/early fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries respectively ([[Giannetti (1996)\|Giannetti 1996]]).		\|Has Description=The metrical Catalan text ''Libre'' (or ''Llibre'') ''dels Set Savi de Roma'' is an adaptation of the [[L (Sept Sages de Rome)\|Version L]] narrative.

	Though the [[L (Sept Sages de Rome)\|Version L]] narrative pattern emerges originally in French, scholarship suggests that the language of the Catalan text betrays evidence of a more immediate Provençal/Occitan source ([[Janer (1907)\|Janer 1907]], xx-xxiii), suggesting a possible close relationship between this text and the fragmentary [[Occitan Version L]].

	The tendency of the Catalan poet-redactor was primarily to abbreviate the narratives as presented in other ''Sept Sages'' texts, with a few notable exceptions. According to Janer, the story [[Filia]] is slightly expanded to flesh out the details; however, the story [[Medicus]] is given a more dramatic change. In the Catalan iteration of the narrative, the great doctor Hippocrates does not merely fall ill (prompting his remorse for murdering his talented nephew who could have saved him) as he does in other versions. Instead, the redactor took the opportunity to add an example of women's wickedness into the text: Hippocrates is poisoned when the woman he loves gives him meat from a sow to eat (something he foretold would bring about death), and throws away the broth which might have cured him. Hippocrates therefore ensures the woman dies as well. (As with other Version L texts, the ''Libre dels Set Savis'' concludes without a final story from the prince, and instead includes the motif of the judicial battle between the prince's and empress' champions.)
