Das Mittelalter. Perspektiven mediävistischer Forschung : Zeitschrift... / 2023, Band 28, Heft 1

The ¿Seven Sages of Rome¿ was one of the most widely distributed story matters of
premodernity. It was transmitted in at least 30 languages from Arabic to Russian
across Asia, Europe and the Middle and Near East from the 11th to the 19th
centuries. Nevertheless, this tradition is still little known and rarely researched
in Mediaeval Studies. This special issue proposes that the ¿Seven Sages of Rome¿ is
ripe for rediscovery, and for bringing together and giving new perspectives on
current and interdisciplinary approaches in Mediaeval and Early Modern Studies. This
includes transmission studies, intersectional analysis and global approaches to
literary history.
