Note:
Ms. codex. Title from caption title (f. 1r); Zacour-Hirsch uses the title Chroniques de Charles VII and suggests a date in the second half of the 16th century. Comparison of this manuscript of the Croniques with the printed edition (DuFresne de Beaucourt, ed., Société de l'histoire de France, 1863-64) indicates considerable variants; the Epitaphes were not included in the printed edition (Zacour-Hirsch). A partial acrostic of Simon Greban's name (SIMON GREB) appears in the first letters of the last nine lines before the last line of the Epitaphes (Aston). Foliation: Paper, 177; two sets of near-contemporary numerals in ink, upper and lower right recto; the upper set is probably earlier, as some of them have been trimmed away. Layout: Written in 42-44 long lines; frame-ruled in drypoint. Binding: 19th-century[?] calf. Origin: Written in France, in the second half of the 16th century. Appears in Bernard Quaritch's catalog 742 (1955), no. 6; purchased by Laurence Witten. Appears in Witten's catalog 5 (1962), no. 16. Purchased, 1962.
