Format: a-h⁶, i, k⁴, 4° According to Roth (2004, p. 105), the text heavily deviates from the "Historia"-Version but is based on it, and has been rewritten for Gerard Leeu. Depending on who is telling the stories, they are either called hortatio (for the Empress) or defensio (for the Seven Sages). Contains 23 xylographs.
