Note
Zacour and Hirsch suggest the text was written 'ca. 1350'.
Note: JONAS (http://jonas.irht.cnrs.fr/manuscrit/49948) indicates this is part of Version A, rather than L, but this is not supported by other scholarship (Maulu, Foerh-Janssens, Berne-Aïache).
Parts of this text are missing. Maulu (2016) notes:
'Il testo ha inizio subito dopo l’inizio del racconto Canis, cui seguono nell’ordine Aper c. 3r, Medicus c. 4v, Gaza c. 7r, Puteus c. 10r, Senescalcus c. 12v, Tentamina c. 14v (lacuna fra le cc. 16–17), Virgilius c. 18v, Avis c. 21r, manca la c. 23 e le cc. 24–25 seguono la c. 29, Noverca' (p. 423).
