Note

• the "Historia" does not clearly stand out as an independent text from the "Gesta Romanorum"; the text has numerous mistakes and an unusual Graphie (see Roth 2004, p.79)
• the other Gesta Romanorum in this manuscript also contains excerpts of the Historia (see Berlin Staatsbibliothek Ms. Magdeb. 208 (excerpts within Gesta Romanorum))
