The Italian L'Amabile di Continentia is one of the later I (Versio Italico) redactions, and is closely related to the Erasto narrative. It is critically assumed to be Erasto's source, in fact (see Cesari (1896), Wikeley (1983), etc.). This is due to the fact that unlike most of Version I redactions, in L'Amabile the prince is not named Stefano, but rather Erasto. As in Erasto, the stepmother is named Afrodisia, while the sages are given names designed to sound Greek: Euprosigorus, Dimurgus, Thermus, Enoscopus, Philantropus, Agathus, Leucus (Campbell (1907) and Cesari (1896)).
