Excerpts in Gesta Romanorum
From The Seven Sages of Rome
The Historia and the Gesta Romanorum often appear together as separate texts in the same manuscript but there are also cases where excerpts from the Historia appear as a part of the Gesta Romanorum. Some parts of the frame narrative are being omitted and the stories as well as their spiritual interpretations are being shortened (see Roth 2004, p. 110). These excerpts can be found in three groups of the Gesta Romanorum tradition:
The Continental Group x contains the frame narrative before the first story, >Arbor<, as well as the frame narrative between >Vidua< and >Vaticinium< / >Amici<; after (usually) three stories from the Gesta-corpus follows >Medicus< (see Roth 2004, p. 110).
