The Latin Version A text titled either Allegatio Septem Sapientum, or Libellus muliebri nequitia plenus, follows the overall structure of the Version A tradition, but demonstates some specific alterations. The Allegatio is found in one fourteenth-century Latin manuscript, and was later translated into German. The embedded stories match closely with other Version A texts, with the exception of the sixth story, Mercator, which has replaced Puteus. Additionally, usual order of Gaza and Senescalcus (usually 5 and 7, respectively) is here reversed.
The inclusion of Mercator instead of Puteus is a pattern also replicated in some of the Italian Version A texts, in particular the Italian Prose A and the Storia favolosa di Stefano. The contemporary composition timeframes, and the fact that the Allegatio/Libellus text was composed in Northern Italy, we may perhaps hypothesize about the Mercator/Puteus change across all of these text as a signal of shared narrative inheritance.
Steinmetz's 1997 edition with the Latin text and the 15th century German translation in parallel offers a useful introduction to the way this text follows and - occasionally - diverges from similar and contemporary versions of the Seven Sages.
