Note

“Historia” does not clearly stand out as an independent text from the “Gesta Romanorum” (see Roth 2004, p.35).

Regarding 'place of manuscript production': Roth put a (?) behind Salzburg and further mentions that since being gifted to Petrus Haban in 1472, the text has been owned by the Benedictine monastery Michaelbeuern (see Roth 2004, p.35).
