	This relationship is demonstrated by the fact that the prince is named Erasto in both ''L'Amabile'' and ''Erasto,'' rather than Stefano (as he is called in the other four ''Versio Italico'' texts). It is also borne out by the embedded stories, and the names of their storytellers. As in ''Erasto,'' the stepmother is named Afrodisia, while the sages are given names designed to sound Greek: ~~Euprosigorus~~, ~~Dimurgus~~, ~~Thermus~~, ~~Enoscopus~~, ~~Philantropus~~, ~~Agathus~~, ~~Leucus~~ ([[~~Campbell~~ (~~1907~~)~~]] and [[~~Cesari (1896)]]). ''L'Amabile'' drops several of the expected [[I (Versio Italico)\|Version I]] embedded stories (Vidua, Puteus, Avis), usually told by the sages. In their place, the narrative adds several new tales: [[Corpus Delicti]] (a faithful dog reveals his master's murder), [[Zelus]] (a husband believes slander about his innocent wife and murders her), and [[Caepulla]] (a father learns his son's fatal illness could have cured by a specific food). Additionally, unlike the 'rama italico antico' texts, ''L'Amabile'' gives the stepmother a seventh story, a new story titled [[Puer Adoptatus]], bringing the narrative total back to fifteen. Of these four new texts, none are found elsewhere in the ''Seven Sages'' tradition, with the exception of ''Caepulla'', which also appears in the [[Forty Viziers: Ḥikāyet-i Ḳırḳ Vezīr]]. Another distinguishing element is the fact that, rather than facing public execution, the empress kills herself in prison in at the end of the narrative.

	A note on manuscripts: the Parma manuscript, listed below, was edited by Cesari (1896). In his introduction to this edition, Cesari refers to two other manuscripts containing the same narrative. One, a Modenese codex (owned by a Mr. Boni) partially reproduced by Cappelli in his introduction to ''Il Libro dei Sette Savi'' (1865) (pp. 58-69), concludes with an explicit that gives the place and date of composition (11th December, 1517, in Brescia), and the name of the scribe, Fr. Hyer. Broyolus. The same scribe, Hieronymus or Jeronimo Broyolus, also signed the Parma manuscript, dating it just a month earlier. The frame portions of the two texts appear very similar, leading Cesari to make the reasonable assumption that this was a second copy of the same original (p. CIII). Cesari also mentions a third manuscript, partially reproduced by Giosuè Carducci in ''Rivista Italiana'' (I, 1863, pp. 452-53) and owned by Francesco Zambrini.

While Carducci's manuscript was apparently heavily damaged, missing about 15 pages at the beginning and more throughout, the text of [[Roma]] that Carducci edited resembled the Parma text closely enough to convince Cesari that this was also a copy of the same work. Thus far, I have been unable to locate either the Modena/Boni manuscript mentioned by Cappelli, or the Zambrini manuscript mentioned by Carducci.

Of these four new texts, none are found elsewhere in the ''Seven Sages'' tradition, with the exception of ''Caepulla'', which also appears in the [[Forty Viziers: Ḥikāyet-i Ḳırḳ Vezīr]]. Another distinguishing element is the fact that, rather than facing public execution, the empress kills herself in prison in at the end of the narrative.		\|Has Description=The Italian ''L'Amabile di Continentia'' is one of the later [[I (Versio Italico)]] redactions, and is closely related to the [[Erasto]] narrative. It is critically assumed to be ''Erasto''<nowiki/>'s source, in fact ([[Cesari (1896)\|Cesari 1896,]] [[Wikeley (1983)\|Wikeley 1983)]]; its siglum, ''Em'', comes from the understanding that is the manuscript precursor to the later printed ('stampa') ''Erasto'' texts (given the siglum ''Es''). This is due to the fact that unlike most of Version I redactions, in ''L'Amabile'' the prince is not named Stefano, but rather Erasto. As in ''Erasto,'' the stepmother is named Afrodisia, while the sages are given names designed to sound Greek: Euprosigorus, Dimurgus, Thermus, Enoscopus, Philantropus, Agathus, Leucus ([[Campbell (1907)]] and [[Cesari (1896)]]). ''L'Amabile'' drops several of the expected [[I (Versio Italico)\|Version I]] embedded stories (Vidua, Puteus, Avis), usually told by the sages. In their place, the narrative adds several new tales: [[Corpus Delicti]] (a faithful dog reveals his master's murder), [[Zelus]] (a husband believes slander about his innocent wife and murders her), and [[Caepulla]] (a father learns his son's fatal illness could have cured by a specific food). Additionally, unlike the 'rama italico antico' texts, ''L'Amabile'' gives the stepmother a seventh story, a new story titled [[Puer Adoptatus]], bringing the narrative total back to fifteen. Of these four new texts, none are found elsewhere in the ''Seven Sages'' tradition, with the exception of ''Caepulla'', which also appears in the [[Forty Viziers: Ḥikāyet-i Ḳırḳ Vezīr]]. Another distinguishing element is the fact that, rather than facing public execution, the empress kills herself in prison in at the end of the narrative.

	''L'Amabile di Continentia'' was likely composed in Northern Italy, judging by the prose which is a mix of Veneto and Lombardo, sometime in the fifteenth century according to [[Cesari (1896)]].
