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).
