Date Information
| Date(s): | ?1325 to 1350 |
| Notes: | "Il manoscritto BL Royal 20. D.I è stato esemplato a Napoli presso la corte di Roberto d'Angiò, il <re da sermone> dantesco, presumibilmente verso il 1335-1340 da un copista italiano" (Barbieri 2005, 10) "Gli studiosi non sono ancora concordi sulla datazione del codice e le ipotesi oscillano tra il decennio compreso tra il 1330 ed il 1340 e il decennio immediatamente successivo. Datato inizialmente agli anni di re Ludovico e della regina Giovanna, il codice fu in un secondo tempo ascritto all'ultimo decennio del regno di re Roberto" (Palermi 2004, 242 and n.62) |
