Notes: An acrostic on f. 367 has been interpreted as suggesting that the text was copied by Druel Vygnon/Jérôme de Winghe; a note on f. 1r remarks that the MS was copied in 1261 (see Faider, p. 110 for the note and its interpretation). The text is entitled "Amilles et amis" (the text has a close relationship to Amis and Amiloun). Copied for Maslin du Bos, according to the scribal inscription (f. 367v). Other owners Jehan Grenut (see Faider p. 110) and J. de Winghe (see Faider p. 110). The MS was part of the library of the chapter of Tournai. 15th c binding
