Editorial note — CRITICAL STUDY OF THE SOURCES
Louise Seymour Houghton translation
1. If any student finds himself embarrassed by the extreme rarity of certain works cited, I shall make it my duty and pleasure to send them to him, as well as a copy of the Italian manuscripts.
2. E. Renan: Nouvelles études d'histoire religieuse, Paris, 1884, 8vo, p. 331.
3. See above, pp. 304 ff.
4. Mazarine Library, MS. 8531: Speculum perfectionis S. Francisci; the Canticle is found at fo. 51. Cf. MS., 1350 (date of 1459). That text was published by Boehmer in the Romanische Studien, Halle, 1871. pp. 118-122. Der Sonnengesang v. Fr. d'A.
5. Conform. (Milan, 1510), 202b, 2s. For that matter it is correct that Diola, in the Croniche degli ordini instituti da S. Francisco (Venice, 1606, 3 vols. 4to), translated after the Castilian version of the work composed in Portuguese by Mark of Lisbon, was foolish enough to render into Italian this translation of a translation.
