	The ''Historia'', known in scholarship as Version H, likely ~~developed out of~~ the narrative tradition of the [[A (Seven Sages)\|Version A]] redaction of the ''Seven Sages'', and shares most of its stories with the Version A texts. However, the ''Historia'' introduces a new story, [[Amatores]], and often combines two otherwise separate narratives ([[Senescalcus]] and [[Roma]]) which makes space for the new addition. Another variation is found in the prince's story; after relating the narrative [[Vaticinium]] with its focus on interpreting animal speech and prophecy, the prince then segues into a continuation of the story that follows the popular medieval narrative of the faithful friend, often called ''Amicus and Amelius'', ''Ami et Amile,'' or ''Amis and Amiloun'' in Middle English. The resulting story, [[Vaticinium and Amici]], is a long and wide ranging conclusion to the ''Historia'''s embedded narrative tradition.

	The ''Historia'' tradition is set apart from other ''Seven Sages'' narratives by its 'unique fullness of detail' (Campbell 1907), and by the extensive, elaborate moralisations apended to the tales in many Version H texts. These moralisations are, in some versions, developed into religious allegories, referred to as ''reductiones''. These ''reductiones'' are found primarily in the versions of the ''Historia'' that are included within the frame text of the ''Gesta Romanorum'' (notably the Latin and German Version H texts); according to Gerdes, as many as four fifths of all manuscript versions of the ''Historia'' narrative may be embedded within the ''Gesta'' (Gerdes 1992). Gaston Paris suggests that the inclusion of the ''Historia'' within the larger ''Gesta'' tale collection might account for the emperor's name in Version H: the emperor is called 'Poncianus' rather than 'Diocletianus', perhaps because the ''Gesta Romanorum'' already includes the story of an Emperor Diocletian.

	It is also worth noting that unlike many of the Version A texts, the ''Historia'' usually concludes with further relevations that are intended to prove the empress's villainy. One of the empress's maidens is called forward by the prince, and publicly stripped, revealing male (not female) genitalia. The outing of the lover-character's biological sex is universally read as proof of the empress's adultery, with the assumption being that this 'maid' is really a man cross-dressing in order to conduct an affair with the empress.
