Old Swedish Redaction C: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:41, 3 December 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 Redaction C has - so far - only survived in one manuscript which dates back to 1492. 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] (see also Bampi 2014: 240, 251). 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 (see Schöndorf 1992: 58, 66). However, note that the only extant manuscript is incomplete.
