The Storia favolosa di Stefano represents one of the Italian redactions of the Seven Sages that has usually been designated as part of the Version A tradition. (D'Agostino (2022) places the Storia alongside other anomalous Italian texts, including the Storia di Stefano and Erasto, as distinct from the other Version A redactions; however, historically scholarship has usually grouped it alongside the Libro dei Sette Savj (A) and the Italian Prose (V).)
Like Italian Prose (V), the Storia replaces the 6th story, Puteus, with the story Mercator - however, unlike the text edited by Varnhagen, the Storia then re-inserts Puteus later in the text in the position usually occupied by Inclusa. Also like the Italian Prose (V), the Storia exists in one
