INTRODUCTION The Seven Sages of Rome is a medieval collection of stories about wise

counselors

and

wicked

women.

It was,

throughout

the

Middle Ages and beyond, an extremely popular work which spread into virtually all European languages. This success, which the present bibliography attempts to document, may be said to have been founded on a number of features distinguishing The Seven Sages of Rome from other compilations of exempla. Most importantly, the stories of The Seven Sages of Rome have been organically integrated or embedded in an all-embracing frame structure which, while allowing for great diversity of subject matter, nevertheless aligns them according to a global narrative order. Killis Campbell summarizes the frame story as follows: “A young prince is tempted by his stepmother, the queen. She, being rebuffed by him, accuses him of attempting to violate her, and he is condemned

to death. His life is saved by seven

wise men, who secure a stay of execution of the royal decree by entertaining the king through seven days with tales showing the wickedness of woman, the queen meantime recounting stories to offset those of the sages. On the eighth day the prince, who has remained silent up to that time, speaks in his own defense,

and the queen is put to death” (217, pp. xi-xii). In the resulting and as yet largely unexplored tension between static frame and dynamic context, between a frame story narrating its own existence and embedded narratives deriving meaning from the frame, lies the interest of The Seven Sages of Rome for literary historians and critics. Folklorists can find in The Seven Sages of Rome a rich and varied font of popular story-telling material. In Chapter IV are listed, in the alphabetical order of their customary

Latin titles,

over one hundred folktales included in one or several of the many versions, antecedents and parallels of the collection. The Seven Sages of Rome normally contains, in slightly varying arx1

rangements, the following stories (some of which are at times replaced by the stories filia, noverca, amatores and amici): 1. Stepmother: arbor : canis 2. Ist Sage 3. Stepmother: apex 4. 2nd Sage *Smedicus 5. Stepmother: gaza : puteus 6.. 3rd Sage 7. Stepmother: senescalcus : tentamina 8. 4th Sage 9. Stepmother: Virgilius : avis . oth Sage . Stepmother: sapientes : vidua . 6th Sage . Stepmother: Roma . 7th Sage _ : inclusa eubeines : vaticintum

Through comparative analysis these stories may throw new lights on theories, both old and new, of transmission or polygenesis, of dissemination and origin, of oral tradition and liter-

ary intent. They will also show that The Seven Sages of Rome is more than an exercise in traditional medieval antifeminism: the prince of the frame story has been accused of plotting to overthrow his father, and his stepmother’s stories invite unsuspected comparisons with many a medieval Fiirstenspiegel. As an undeniably didactic work, The Seven Sages of Rome is receiving renewed critical attention at a time when interest in medieval didacticism is high, as witnessed by numerous recent editions and studies. In the total cultural mosaic of the European Middle Ages uncounted Narrationes, Sermones, Exempla and Summae have been found to hold an important place, and The Seven

Sages of Rome has no small contribution to make to a fuller understanding of that era. Finally, The Seven Sages of Rome offers historians of literature and folklore valuable material for comparative analysis. Comparatists will examine the dissemination and evolution of motifs, stories and genres; they will explore the cross-national interrelationships between versions by investigating the many instances of translation, adaptation or borrowing; and they are well placed to study the beginnings, development and narrative mechanics

Introduction

Xill

of The Seven Sages of Rome as a specimen of cyclic literature not dissimilar, in that respect, from the great epic or romance cycles of the Middle Ages. The Seven Sages of Rome has its ultimate roots in the East where it is usually known as The Book of Sindbad. The Eastern parent version may go back as far as the fifth century B.C., but the earliest extant mention of The Book of Sindbad and its probably oldest extant version,

the Syriac Sindban,

date from the tenth

century A.D. The Book of Sindbad originated most likely in India, although Persia and the Jewish Near East have also been advanced as possible birthplaces. From The Book of Sindbad are derived two distinct, though not unrelated, Western narrative traditions: the Dolopathos and The

Seven Sages of Rome. The Dolopathos has replaced all but one story from The Book of Sindbad (canis) by other material; and, like The Book of Sindbad, it assigns only one teacher to the prince. The Seven Sages of Rome shares four stories (canis, aper, senescalcus, avis) with The Book of Sindbad, but the sages tell only one story each instead

of the two or more

in the Eastern

tradition;

The

Seven Sages of Rome also has four stories (canis, gaza, puteus, inclusa) in common with the Dolopathos. Such complex textual evidence has made it extremely difficult to establish conclusively how The Book of Sindbad reached the West, especially in view of the fact that the parent version of The Seven Sages of Rome has been lost. The transmission theories of the last hundred years fall, in a summary way, into two groups: the proponents of a written transmission posit ByzantinoRoman (G. Paris), Hebrew-Latin (Hilka) or Arabic-Spanish (Libro

de los enganos; G. Paris, Aiache, Epstein) intermediaries between the Greek Syntipas and the Western parent version, while the defenders of an oral transmission propose the crusaders as story-carriers

(Le Roux

de Lincy, Ebeling,

Campbell,

Misrahi)

and Byzantium—North Africa—Spain or Syria—Jerusalem as transmission routes (Campbell). The precise sources of the Dolopathos are not known. It may derive from The Book of Sindbad, or The Seven Sages of Rome, or other folktale traditions, including

oral ones, or indeed from a combination of these (Gilleland). Its

only material link to the East is the story canis. The oldest extant Western text, French Version K, was probably written about 1155 (G. Paris, Campbell, Misrahi). On this

x1Vv

Introduction

basis, Campbell proposed for the lost Western parent version a terminus ad quem of 1150, while the tenth century as terminus a quo may be deduced from Epstein’s research. The original Latin Dolopathos was composed by Johannes.de Alta Silva at the end of the twelfth century (G. Paris, Campbell, Gilleland). The textual tradition of The Seven Sages of Rome grew into two branches: one represented by Version S as transmitted in the Scala celi, the other, much richer one, represented by Versions K (French), D (French), and A (French, English, Italian, Swedish,

Welsh). Version A gave rise to the widely disseminated Latin Version H and its variants (with translations into most European languages),

to Version I (Italian) and its variants and transla-

tions, to Versions L and M (French), and to the French Continua-

tions of the cycle. Alta Silva’s Dolopathos was translated into French by a certain Herbert in the first quarter of the thirteenth century; there is also a late German

translation.

At least forty different versions, upwards of two hundred manuscripts and nearly two hundred and fifty editions of The Seven Sages of Rome were counted by Campbell almost eighty years ago. In the light of the present bibliographical update, his estimates must be considered conservative, and his speaking of the work’s “vogue,” an understatement. There has not yet been a methodical attempt at gathering and ordering the wealth of information pertaining to the matter of the Seven Sages. Indeed, this is the first systematic bibliography devoted entirely to the Seven Sages, to their Ur-text, The Book of Sindbad, and to their parallel, the Dolopathos. As a reference tool

it is organized along purely practical rather than historicoevolutionary lines. Within its two main chapters, the material is presented in the alphabetical order of the languages, language families and versions in which the cycle has been told. Within each linguistic group and narrative version, the bibliographical items are arranged strictly in the chronological order of their dates of publication; alternative means of access to the data are provided through the Contents and the Index. Entries include, where applicable, several or all of the following primary and secondary materials: manuscript listings and manuscript studies; early printings; critical, facsimile, diplomatic and non-critical

editions, book-length studies and research articles on all aspects of the Seven Sages; book reviews of major works; and, ex-

xU

ceptionally, unpublished conference papers. The whole is framed by a chapter listing chronologically those items which refer in a general way to both the Eastern and Western versions, and by a chapter on selected embedded stories (in alphabetical and chronological order). This bibliography is thus a guide to Seven Sages studies only to the extent that it permits the reader at a glance to appreciate the immense popularity of the Seven Sages and to recognize the considerable amount of scholarship the cycle has elicited worldwide. From the material arrangement and the quantity of the various bibliographical data, no undue conclusions should be drawn as to the beginnings, growth, wanderings, interrelation-

ships and relative literary importance of the different versions. Nor should methodical value judgments be expected of compilers of an analytical bibliography. On the other hand, the mere systematization of an awe-inspiring mass of information accumulated over almost two centuries has a welcome and not unintended side-effect: it ends often long-standing confusion, it verifies or disproves,

where

possible, heretofore

controversial

tenets, and it improves, sometimes considerably and by virtue of considerable efforts, on the reference skills of preceding generations. In this enterprise the compilers have been invaluably supported and assisted by the members of the Society of the Seven Sages. Since its foundation in 1975, most of the data analysed here has been gathered in the annual Seven Sages Newsletter. Despite this exemplary scholarly collaboration, the responsibility for the present bibliography and guide rests entirely with the undersigned. The compilers are the first to recognize that a bibliography like theirs can never be complete and faultless. They consider it in fact a working bibliography and invite its users to avail themselves of the medium of the Society of the Seven Sages Newsletter (clo Hans R. Runte) to disseminate additions, improvements and corrections. The Newsletter will also continue this bibliography beyond 1982. The compilers gratefully acknowledge the assistance they have received from, among many others, James L. Harner (Bowling Green, Ohio), the Bibliothéque Nationale (Paris), Jean-

Philippe and Chantal Chauvat (Paris), Albert Gier (Heidelberg),
