| Notes | Brief notice p. 48 identifying beginning of text given with Lös. 398, and noting the similarity of the epilogue here with that in BnF fr. 104, and that it 'ressemble à s'y méprendre au texte joint à l'imprimé de Jean Bourgeois (pub. Rouen 1489- see Vinaver 1925, 58). Vinaver also notes the considerable differences between the epilogues in Egerton 989 and BnF fr. 757. |
