[iv], 34pp. plus 1 page detailing the edition, a gold illustration on the title-page and 8 black and white drawings. The Seven Sages of Rome (also…known as The Seven Wise Masters, the Seven Sages or Seven Wise Men) is a frame narrative with multiple embedded stories, known across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North Africa from the ninth century onwards. It is one of the most widely transmitted tales of premodernity, translated and adapted into at least 32 languages, with each version considerably different from the others. The present version is translated from the Medieval Welsh of Llewellyn Offeiriad, in the Red Book of Hergest. It was initially a broadcast in the Third Programme of the B.B.C. on 21st July, 1952, with music composed by Peter Crossley-Holland. The book is bound in the original brown cloth covered boards with gold titling on the front board. The book is in excellent condition with light shelf wear to the boards and the contents are tight and clean with no inscription. The translator has flat signed the edition detail page at the end of the book and inscribed the front free endpaper thus: "Happy greetings to you - Easter 1964, Moelwyn". Philipa Threlfall and Dora Hurst (ilustrador). Signed by Author(s).
