Note

Regarding the scribe: full signature: Iohannes villicus de perg tunc temporis socius diuinorum in Aufkirchen anno domini 1462. Roth adds to 'Aufkirchen': Landkreis (county) Starnberg, only since 1686 Augustinian monastery. (see Roth 2004, p.35).

Regarding text structure: "Historia" is part of the "Gesta Romanorum moralizata". Roth notes that the stories in the "Historia" are partially treated as individual "Gesta" stories, though apparently supplied by a complete self-contained Historia manuscript (see Roth 2004, p.36).
