Latest revision as of 13:21, 18 February 2026

We have no written evidence of The Seven Sages/ Book of Sindbad's circulation in Danish until Mats Vingaard's fragmentary Copenhagen print (1570-1577). The first complete print is Stephan Møllmand (Rostock 1591), which transmits a standard version of the Historia. Seelow (1989) suggests that is has been translated from a German chapbook. There is at least one lost edition from 1602, as well as at least seven eighteenth-century print editions (Schlusemann 2023b).
