Since an edition of the Sju vise mästare by G. E. Klemming, 1887-1889, the three known Old Swedish manuscripts have been classified in three redactions (A,B,C). The Old Swedish Version H has - so far - only survived in one manuscript which dates back to 1492 and which is known as Redaction C. As K. E. Schöndorf (1992) discusses, the manuscript has likely been translated from the Middle-Low-German Version H print Hir henet [sic] sik an een boek vnde heth in deme dudeschen de historia van den souen wysen meisteren (incipit) [Lübeck: Lukas Brandis, ca. 1478]. Except for the name of the second wise master that changes from Leuculus to Lentulus, Redaction C adheres to Version H standards.
