| Summary |
Recueil de fables, inspiré du "Pañcatantra", traduit du sanscrit en moyen perse (VIe s. version perdue), puis en arabe par Ibn al-Muqaffaʿ (VIIIe s.) et devenu un classique. La version arabe a donné naissance aux versions en persan (XIIIe s.), en hébreu (XIIIe s.) et en castillan (version dite "alphonsine", XIIIe s.). A partir de la version en hébreu de Joël, adaptation en latin par Jean de Capoue sous le titre de "Directorium humanae vitae alias Parabolae antiquorum sapientum". C'est cette version qui est la source de "Exemplario contra los engaños y peligros del mundo" (1493). - Postérieurement versions dans une quarantaine de langues |
| Other characteristics |
This free Arabic translation is one of the two oldest extant versions of the story cycle. The second extant translation is the Syriac translation. Since the Pahlavi translation is lost, the Arabic translation of Ibn al-Muqaffaʿ was the base of three preserved Persian translations |
