| Summary: | Absit suspicio, dum tela iacio (WIC 196) is a poem of 66 rhythmic stanzas. Though Hans Walther already published most of the stanzas scattered through the five volumes of his monumental Proverbia sententiaeque Latinitatis medii aevi the poem’s original form has never been published in its entirety. In each stanza the unknown poet presents an image taken from the Bible, the Roman classics, the encyclopaedic tradition, the Physiologus or proverbial wisdom, from which he draws moral insight or advice. The text is transmitted by four medieval manuscripts: Wien, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Cod. 901, fol. 1r-4r (66 stanzas); Wolfenbüttel, Herzog August Bibliothek, Ms. Guelf. 7 Helmst., fol. 2ra-va (42 stanzas); Leipzig, Universitätsbibliothek, Ms. 350, fol. 95rb-c (39 stanzas); Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Ms. lat. 15155, fol. 163r-v (15 stanzas). Though we have no clue as to the author’s identity, we may safely assume that he was a monk who had been trained in France and wrote during the Twelfth Century. |
