"Straparola has borrowed copiously from preceding authors. Thus the 3d of 1st night was probably taken from John of Capua's "Directorium," and originally derived from the Hitopadesa. "--History of Fiction (1814) by John Colin Dunlop |

Directorium Vitae Humanae is the title of a Latin translation of the Panchatantra, translated by John of Capua (fl. 1262-1269).
This translation was the source from which that work became so widely spread in almost all European languages. It was edited by Joseph Derenbourg (Paris, 1887).
