The German text titled Aventewr von Diocleciano was likely composed in the late fourteenth or early fifteenth century, and is found in eight surviving manuscripts. Like most of the other German Seven Sages/Sieben Weise Meister texts, it is contained within the broader frame of the Gesta Romanorum (redaction B, by Gerdes' designation). Like the Hystorij von Diocleciano, the Aventewr derives in part from the Historia Septem Sapientum tradition, but it diverges from the Historia's narrative pattern of embedded stories halfway through the text. The Aventewr contains 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.
