Date Information
| Date(s): | ?1254 | 
| Notes: | The dating of this MS Part depends on the interpretation of the Latin rubric at the beginning of the table(f. Ira) : "In I(he)su Ch(rist)i nomine, anno eiusde(m) / natiuitatis millesimo ducentesi / mo quinquagesimo quarto Indic / tione duodecima die Mercurij / duodecimo Intrante Augusto.". According to Zinelli 2010, 83-86 - in line with with Bertoni (and others) and more recently Avalle-Casamassima 1979-1982, vol. I, 19 and 25-26 - this rubric was copied from the model of the MS. For other scholars, starting from Mussafia, De Lollis (and others) and, more recently, Spetia 1997, 45; Zufferey 2007, 178; Lachin 2008, XVIII, the date refers to the copy of the first codicological unit of the MS [=Part1]. |

| Scribe description: | Two hands, second half of the 13th c. (Avalle-Casamassima 1979-82; Spetia 1997, 30; Zinelli 2010). The first hand (a) copied the table, ff. 1-94 (quire 1 to 12) and ff. 153-231 (quire 21 to 30); while the second (b) copied ff. 95-152 (quire 13 to 20). "Le premier manuscrit est donc fruit d'un travail d'équipe accompli dans un scriptorium, selon la pratique de la pecia" (Spetia 1997, 30). |
