Besides the text, which follows the Cotton MS., this volume, one of the “Albion series of Anglo-Saxon and Middle English poetry,” contains an exhaustive introduction which discusses the early history of The seven sages, the Oriental, European, and English versions, and gives a list of originals and analogues. Full notes, a glossary and index complete the volume.
