	\|Has Description=The German text titled the ''Hystorij von Diocleciano'' survives in only one manuscript, written c. 1470. Like the other anomalous late medieval German version, the ''[[Aventewr von Diocleciano]],'' the source for the ''Hystorij'' was a text from the (German) [[H (Historia Septem Sapientum)\|Historia]] tradition, demonstrated by some of the surviving embedded tales (stories 7-14). Specifically, the ''Hystorij's'' final stories bear marked resemblance to German prose version H [[redaction G]]. (Gerdes 1992). However, the ''Hystorij'' also contains five inset tales that are not found anywhere else in the ''Seven Sages'' tradition, and one fewer than usual. The new stories told by the sages ([[Aristoteles]], [[Samson]], and [[Holofernes]]) draw on classical narratives, and are designed to illustrate the timelessness of women's perfidy. The Empress's new stories ([[Regina]] and [[Vadium]]) draw on folk- and fairy-tale structures, and are focused on women who are falsely accused of infidelity - though in his introduction to his 1999 edition, Steinmetz notes that they inadvertently relate a (gender-swapped) version of the frame, with an innocent victim (analoguous to the prince) falsely implicated (Steinmetz 1999). It is also worth noting that in the process of adaptating the ''Historia'' text, the author of the ''Hystorij'' not only added and changed the stories, but also abbreviated the existing tales, and dramatically reduced the moralisations following each tale.		\|Has Description=The German text titled the ''Hystorij von Diocleciano'' survives in only one manuscript, written c. 1470.
