Pattern of embedded stories in this manuscript

Note: BnF Moreau 1691 is largely a copy of BnF 25545, with 'variants' from BnF nouv. ac. fr. 13521. However, the middle portion of the text, folios 133-144 according to Arlima, contains a portion of a copy of a Verion L text (namely BnF 1444). According to Plomp (1899, pp. 20-21), this is the result of an error in binding; the original narrative breaks off around the insertion.
