German Version A: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 10:50, 10 February 2025

In 1997, Steinmetz produced a parallel version of the German version A text, alongside the Latin text which is assumed to be its source. Steinmetz refers to this version of the narrative as Libellus muliebri nequitia plenus, and he suggests the Latin version was composed in the 14th century, and translated into the Bavarian/Bavarian-Austrian dialect sometime early in the 15th century. The text survives in two manuscripts; Steinmetz uses the manuscript St. Florian Stiftsbibliothek Cod. XI. 549 as his primary 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 Version A narrative pattern. The exceptionto this is the inclusion of the story Mercator.
