Hebrew Group B
From The Seven Sages of Rome
Hebrew Group B, found in only two manuscripts, forms the basis of Morris Epstein's 1967 edition of Mishle Sendebar. The Oxford manuscripts that make up Group B include the embedded stories Jusjurandum, Fur et Luna, and Ingenia, and do not include Gibbosi or Senex Caecus prior to the empress's last story.

Notes
Note
Note on story order: the order given below reflects the stories present in Oxford Bodleian Library Bodley Or. 135; Oxford Bodleian Library MS Heb. d. 11 contains most of the same stories, but omits Absalom Mortuus, Nomina, and Iuvenis Femina (so totally only 19, rather than 22, stories).
