Note
The text of the "Historia" is sort of an abridged version based on a manuscript from Group II, with a short moralisation at the end; >Puteus<, >Gaza<, >Sapientes<, >Virgilius<, >Medicus<, >Senescalcus<, >Amatores< and >Inclusa< are missing completely, >Avis< and >Tentamina< are only implied (see Roth 2004, p.49). Regarding scribe, Roth notes the text is an "Autograph des Dietrich Engelhus" (Roth 2004, p.48) instead of using "scribe" as he usually does.
