Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The Middle English Seven Sages of Rome (c.1300) is a popular medieval framed narrative, translated from the French by an anonymous writer whom scholarship locates in London. It features a storytelling contest to save a prince from execution, with misogynistic tales of wicked women and wise…counsellors, reflecting its Eastern origins and the medieval concept of a "mirror for princes".The text relates a tale-telling competition between parties arguing for and against the execution of Florentine, the emperor of Romes son. The emperors second wife wants Florentine dead because he threatens her position at court; she tells tales of usurping sons and untrustworthy counsellors. In response, the sages tell tales of perfidious wives and the dangers of haste. The emperor vacillates until his son speaks in his own favour and the contest is decided. The collection is one of the earliest Middle English examples of a set of "frame stories". The frame narrative of the Seven Sages originates in eighth-century Persia; it was well known during the Middle Ages, and was translated into all the vernaculars and Latin. This edition makes the Middle English poem newly available to students and researchers interested in topics including medieval misogyny, east-to-west cultural transfer, and the history of the exemplum and exemplary writing.
