Latin Mishle Sendebar
From The Seven Sages of Rome
The Latin translation of Mishle Sendebar exists in one manuscript, composed in 1407 near Bergamo, Italy. According to Hilka, it begins in media res part of the way through the standard opening of the Mishle Sendebar frame narrative, after the initial introduction of the prince, of Sendebar (here Syndebar, or Sindebar), and of the plans for his education. It is also noteworthy that unlike the Hebrew Mishle Sendebar texts, the final tales of the Latin translation are somewhat distinct.
