Note

Epstein (p. 354) notes: 'Vat. is a remarkable MS. Even though it clearly belongs to Group A, it differs from other members of that group in the order of stories, and, like H.M. and Bud. (and Group B ), lacks the story Gibbosi. Its chief distinction is its overall embellishment and inflation of text. In the story Avis, the cuckold realizes his error in killing the bird. (In this respect, Vat. resembles Auchinleck, the oldest ME Seven Sages of Rome MS.) In the story Turtures, the surviving male dove is so sad that it dies, too. In the story Balneator, the bathkeeper's wife goes back to the palace with the prince and bears him children. In any case Vat. is, from a literary standpoint, the most interesting MS of Mishle Sendebar. Throughout, there is an expansion of dialogue; an (often successful) attempt at motivation, a heightening of color, and a surprising sophistication in exposition. Vat. deserves its own translation.'
