+|Has Note=Version L is unusual for a few reasons. First, it is worth noting that there are 13, rather than 15, stories: the final sage, usually called Merons in the French, is absent, as is the prince's story. Additionally, the two final stories - ''[[Noverca]]'' and ''[[Filia]]'' - are unique to this version. Their presence in texts that otherwise resemble Version A texts therefore serves as both evidence of the proximity of these two versions, and an argument for their cross-pollination.
