The dating of this version is currently unclear. In the description given in Runte, Wikeley, Farrell (1984), the authors suggest that d'Ancona 'ascribes the text he edited... to the end of the 13th century' (p. 128). D'Ancona situates the text in the 'buon secolo della lingua', the golden age of Italian vernacular literature between c. 1220-1350 (vii), but does not offer a specific date. D'Agostino (2022) comments on the 'problema cronologico', noting that it is difficult to say whether this is a 13th or 14th century codex; it follows the pattern of the 13th century French texts, however (p. 179). Wikeley (1983) suggests (in passing) a fifteenth century date for this text, which corresponds with the date for Florence Biblioteca nazionale centrale, Palatino 680 - the supplemental text d'Ancona used as an appendix. However, it seems Florence Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Gaddiano 166 predates this.
It is worth noting that this redaction appears to be, out of all the Italian Version A texts, most closely related to the French Version A tradition. D'Agostino notes that this version is celebrated for its proximity to the 'lingua d'oïl' of the time, and is famous as one of the texts 'piú ricchi di francesismi' in Italian medieval literature (p. 179) (see also Bianchi (2014-2015)).
