La version en moyen anglais des Sept Sages de Rome<\/em> a \u00e9t\u00e9 traduite du fran\u00e7ais vers 1300 par un auteur anonyme que les sp\u00e9cialistes situent \u00e0 Londres. D’un auteur inconnu, le texte relate un concours de r\u00e9cits opposant deux camps: l’un plaidant pour l’ex\u00e9cution de Florentin, le fils de l’empereur de Rome, et l’autre s’y opposant. La seconde \u00e9pouse de l’empereur souhaite la mort de Florentin, car il menace sa position \u00e0 la cour. Elle raconte alors des histoires mettant en sc\u00e8ne des fils usurpateurs et des conseillers indignes de confiance. En r\u00e9ponse, les sages relatent des r\u00e9cits d’\u00e9pouses perfides et illustrant les dangers de la pr\u00e9cipitation. L’empereur h\u00e9site jusqu’\u00e0 ce que son fils prenne la parole pour sa propre d\u00e9fense, tranchant ainsi l’issue du d\u00e9bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le r\u00e9cit-cadre des Sept Sages<\/em> trouve son origine dans la Perse du VIIIe si\u00e8cle; au cours du Moyen \u00c2ge, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 traduit en latin ainsi que dans toutes les langues vernaculaires. Cette nouvelle \u00e9dition comment\u00e9e, sign\u00e9e Rory G. Critten (Section d’anglais<\/a>, Centre d’\u00e9tudes m\u00e9di\u00e9vales et post-m\u00e9di\u00e9vales<\/a>) et Alison Wiggins (Universit\u00e9 de Glasgow), rend \u00e0 nouveau accessible ce po\u00e8me en moyen anglais, int\u00e9ressant pour l’\u00e9tude de th\u00e8mes tels que la misogynie m\u00e9di\u00e9vale, les transferts culturels d’Orient en Occident, ainsi que l’histoire de l’\u00abexemplum\u00bb et de la litt\u00e9rature \u00e9difiante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
