The German text titled Aventewr von Diocleciano is found in eight surviving manuscripts, and was likely composed in the late fourteenth or early fifteenth century. Like most of the other German Seven Sages/Sieben Weise Meister texts, it is contained within the broader frame of the Gesta Romanorum tale collection (GR redaction B, by Gerdes' designation). Like the Hystorij von Diocleciano, the narrative pattern of the Aventewr derives from the Historia Septem Sapientum tradition, but it diverges halfway through the text. It contains only thirteen, rather than the expected fifteen embedded stories, several of which are anomalous: Lepus, Nasus praemorsus, Praeceptum galli, Thesaurus in puteo, and Voluptaria. These stories appear nowhere else in the Seven Sages tradition.
