Group B: Alexander og Lúðvík
From The Seven Sages of Rome
Group B (designation Seelow 1989: 201) consists of those manuscripts that only include the story Vaticinium and Amici as an individual text. In Icelandic it is known as the Ævintýri af Alexander og Lúðvík that survived in five manuscripts with the oldest extant one being written in the first quarter of the 18th century. We have included this group here even though it does not meet our minimum criteria for inclusion (transmission of the frame narrative plus at least some embedded stories) for completeness and because two of the manuscripts still include parts of the frame narrative (see Seelow 1989: 212, 214).
