BERN
Canton Library, No. 125

I have examined this MS. minutely, and am satisfied that it is a copy of
Pauthier's C. i.e., No. 20, in our List. Like that (and no other), it
bears the certificate regarding the Seigneur de Cepoy. (Vol. i., Int.,
Notices of Marco in later life.) The MS. is fully described in Sinner's
Catalogue. It is in very beautiful condition, very clearly written on
parchment, with all the initials filled up in gold and colours, and with
numerous flowered scrolls.
It belonged to Bongars, whose autograph is on it: "Bongars - l'a de la
courtoisie de Mr. de Superville."

STOCKHOLM
Royal Library, French, No. 37
French.
This MS., published in facsimile by Baron A.E. Nordenskioeld, belongs to
the "Cepoy" type of MSS. Yule wrote in The Athenaeum (17th June,
1882): "I gather that it has been produced by partial abridgement from
one of the earlier MSS. of the type in question." And again (p. 766):
"It will be seen that though the publication is a beautiful example of
facsimile, it contributes, as far as I have been able to examine it,
nothing to the amelioration or elucidation of the text or narrative."
The changes and suppressions are much less considerable than in the
Paris MSS., 5631 and 2810. Cf L. Delisle, Bib. de l'Ecole des
Chartres, XLIII., 1882, pp. 226-235, 424.
It is incomplete, and ends: "Et se aucuns disoit qui a lui." - Cf. Paris
MS., 1880. [Our No. 22]
It belonged to the Library of the French King, Charles V. (1364-1380),
and later, as marked on the recto of the last folio, "Pour Symon du
Solier demorant a Honnefleu," who was "procureur-syndic des manants et
habitants de la ville de Honfleur."
