Note
  • the folio range regards the excerpts of the Historia according to Roth; the Gesta Romanorum folio range is 72r-163r
  • includes opening frame narrative
  • following "Canis" is first the spiritual interpretation of the frame narrative before the interpretation of the story (indicated by a 'xx+' in Roth 2004, p.120, 126)
