Bib. nationale (675)?
French.
I know nothing of this MS. except its readings of names given in the
Table appended to the Geographic Text. It then belonged to the Comte
d'Artois. Lazari has it entered as belonging to the Bibl. Imp., I know
not if correctly. [I have been unable to find it in the Bibliotheque
nationale. - H.C.]

PARIS
Bib. nationale, Fr. nonv. acq. 1880
French.
This is a copy of the time of King Louis XII., made apparently for
Admiral Louis Malet de Graville, Governor of Honfleur, who died in 1516;
it bears the arms of the Urfe family; it is at times modernized, but
less is suppressed in it than in MSS. 5631 and 2810. The MS. ends:
"Et sa auchuns disdaine qui a lui ..." about the middle of ch.
cxcix of Pauthier's ed., p. 738, line 4. These are also the last words
of the Stockholm MS. of which it is a copy.
Purchased in 1870.
