Note

"Historia" is incomplete. Text stopped being copied at 5,74 (after the Empress' interpretation of >Gaza<) (see Roth 2004, p.46).

Regarding date of manuscript production: Watermark analyses offer a time range from 1363-1367, but the watermark is cut off in the middle (see Roth 2004, p.45, footnote 41).
