General Notes (Internal)

Note

The version of Mishle Sendebar contained here is partially fragmentary; Epstein notes, 'the MS is defective, breaking off on fol. 6r after the fifth line, in the middle of the story Gibbosi, and picking up four lines from the foot of the page. A note in the margin on fol. 6 r indicates that the copyist had a defective MS before him but was aware that the gap was not too great" (p. 349). Other than that, it is 'almost identical' to the earliest printed edition, Con 1516 (Richler 2001, p. 408). Given its similarity, Epstein suggests this may be a source for Con 1516.

On dating, Richler notes: 'watermarks similar to Briquet no. 4745, dated 1482' (p. 408).

-|Has Note=The version of Mishle Sendebar contained here is missing the beginning and first tales; other than that, it is 'almost identical' to the earliest printed edition, Con 1516 (Richler 2001, p. 408). Given its similarity, Epstein suggests this may be a source for Con 1516.

-On story variation, Epstein notes: "A highly interesting variant, hitherto unnoted, occurs in the story Gibbosi on fol. 9r. When the porter carries the smothered hunchbacks to the river to dispose of them, the copyist, suddently inspired, fills the bottom and left margin of the page with nine lines describing the meeting of the stupid porter with a live hunchback at the river's edge. The porter confuses him with the ones he has thrown in and cannot understand why this one is still alive. Unfortunately a 2" by 2" section of this variant reading at the bottom has been obliterated and the lines at the left have faded, making reading by photocopy impossible" (p. 350). This suggets overlap between 'Gibbosi' and 'Amatores'.
