Erasto (Es)
Erasto, or I compassionevoli avvenimenti di Erasto, was first published in 1542, and went through more than 31 editions before the end of the century. Its enormous popularity led to translations into French, Spanish (and then back to French again), English, and Hebrew.
The Erasto text derives from the fifteenth- or early-sixteeenth-century L'Amabile di Continentia (Em) manuscrupt tradition. The two texts follow the same narrative pattern, beginning with the usual story order found in all the Version I (Versio Italico) texts, then diverging from the seventh story, Zelus, told by the sage Enoscopo.
