Hebrew Group A: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:35, 28 January 2025

Hebrew Group A forms the basis of most scholarship on Mishle Sendebar prior to Morris Epstein's 1967 study. The editions and translations by Cassel (1888) and Habermann (1946) rely on Group A texts, many of which are closely related to - or copies of - the 1516 Constantinople print, found in Divre ha-Yamim shel Moshe Rabbenu. Constantinople: R. Samuel Ibn Naamias, 1516.

Unlike the Oxford manuscripts that make up Group B, Group A does not include the embedded stories Jusjurandum, Fur et Luna, or Ingenia. Instead, Group A includes Gibbosi and Senex Caecus prior to the empress's last story.
