The Dialogue of Solomon and Marcolf
A Dual-Language Edition from Latin and Middle English Printed Editions
Samenvatting
The two texts of the dialogue presented here, a Latin version printed c. 1488 and a Middle English translation printed in 1492, preserve lively, entertaining and revealing exchanges between the Old Testament wisdom figure Solomon and Marcolf, a medieval peasant who is ragged and foul-mouthed but quick-witted and verbally astute.
