Revision as of 17:15, 7 March 2025

The Historia and the Gesta Romanorum often appear together as separate texts in the same manuscript but there are also cases where excerpts from the Historia appear as a part of the Gesta Romanorum. Some parts of the frame narrative are being omitted and the stories as well as their spiritual interpretations are being shortened (see Roth 2004, p. 110). These excerpts can be found in three groups of the Gesta Romanorum tradition:

The Continental Group x contains the frame narrative before the first story, >Arbor<, as well as the frame narrative between >Vidua< and >Vaticinium< / >Amici<; after (usually) three stories from the Gesta-corpus follows >Medicus< (see Roth 2004, p. 110).

(manuscripts will be added soon)


Group u, the insular branch of the tradition, only contains >Canis< and/or >Amatores< from the Historia (see Roth 2004, p. 111).

(manuscripts will be added soon)


Group w contains the most manuscripts: 124. The appearance of the stories varies but >Medicus<, >Amatores< and >Vaticinium< / >Amici< are missing in all of them (see Roth 2004, pp. 111-132).

(manuscripts will be added soon)
