Pattern of embedded stories in this manuscript

Note on grouping: The Bern Burgerbibliothek catalogue lists this text as part of Version M, 'La Male Marastre'. However, Foehr-Janssen (1994) lists this as part of L, as does JONAS and Arlima (following Runte's work). Due to its fragmentary status, there may still be room for uncertainty.
