General Notes (Internal) |
Note
Note on grouping:
- Runte (2014) lists this as a Version A text.
- Arlima lists this as a Version A text (following Runte).
- Coco (2016) lists this as a Version A text (following Arlima).
- JONAS lists this as a Version L text, possibly following Aïache-Berne.
- Gaston Paris (1876) says, 'Je ne puis m’expliquer la composition de ce texte qu’en admettant que le copiste avait à sa disposition un ms. de L fort endommagé vers la fin.’ Paris continues, noting that the story ''Filia'' is missing, replaced with an allusion to ''Sapientes'', and that despite following L closely for the majority of the text, the end of the narrative exactly mirrors the details and structure of A instead.
