Notes

Bischoff (Kat. §6893) ascribed the MS to Francia, but 'Nähe zur Bretagne?', presumably on account of its script. I am not aware of any other specific piece of evidence supporting this localization. Since the MS was incomplete, the missing text at the end was supplied in the fifteenth century, probably in Italy (fols 57r-v).
