There appears to be a MS. at Vienna; for above I have registered (No.
77) one at Berlin, which is called a copy of the Vienna MS., but I have
not been able to get any particulars regarding it.

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."
