Swedish Version H: Sju vise mästare: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:07, 8 August 2025

Since the publication of an edition of the Sju vise mästare by G. E. Klemming, 1887-1889, the three known Old Swedish manuscripts have been classified into three redactions (A, B, and C). The Old Swedish Version H has - so far - only survived in one manuscript which dates back to 1492 and which is known as Redaction C. As K. E. Schöndorf (1992) discusses, the manuscript has likely been translated from the Middle-Low-German Version H print Hir henet [sic] sik an een boek vnde heth in deme dudeschen de historia van den souen wysen meisteren (incipit) [Lübeck: Lukas Brandis, ca. 1478]. Except for the name of the second wise master that changes from Leuculus to Lentulus, Redaction C adheres to the print's form and language, and to the Version H narrative pattern. However, note that the only extant manuscript is incomplete.
