Note |
---|
A large miniature at the opening of the text was removed, and the folio repaired.
Notes on grouping: Runte (2014), Coco (2016), and both JONAS and Arlima catalogues present Arsenal 3516 as part of the Version A group. However, as Foehr-Janssens (1994) notes, scholarship is in agreement that this text presents 'une version mixte' of Version A and Version L. As noted elsewhere, this is shown in the presence of Noverca and Filia in the text. |
