  “Ci commencement les rebriches de cest Livre qui est appelez le
  Deuisement du Monde, lequel je Gringoires contrefais du Livre de Messire
  Marc Pol le meilleur citoien de Venisse creant Crist.”

At the beginning of the Text is a coarse drawing of Kublai on his bretesche, carried by four elephants (vol. i., p. 337); and after the prologue another apparently representing the Princess Aijaruc wrestling with her wooer (vol. ii. p. 465).

  This is Pauthier’s MS. A. (vol. i, Int., Various Types of the Text),
  and also was in the Duc de Berry’s Library, values at 6 livres 5 sols.
  [Second half of the 14th cent.].

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.]

See preceding column.

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.
