3. Old Swedish Redaction A

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). Redaction A belongs to the Old Swedish Version A and has - so far - only survived in one manuscript: Stockholm Kungliga biblioteket Cod. Holm. D 4. The Redaction has been composed between 1400-1450, and, according to Massimiliano Bampi (2007 and 2014), has been translated from a Latin translation of the French Version A. The only extant manuscript is incomplete, missing the beginning of the frame story.
