David Navarro presents the first annotated English translation of Judah Bonsenyor’s Book of Words and Proverbs by Sages and Philosophers (ca. 1294), a seminal work within the medieval Catalan sapiential tradition. This side-by-side annotated medieval Catalan to English translation is an essential resource for anybody interested in the proverbial genre from medieval Catalonia but not fluent in the language or trained in the gnomic literature field.
