Note B — Chapter VI
Reading edition
Rue de la Feurre (near the Place Maubert) was the street in Paris where the poorer students used to lodge. It got its name because straw served them for beds and furniture. Dante says in Par. x. 137:
"Essa è la luce eterua di Sigieri, Che, leggendo nel vico degli strami, Sillogizzo invidiosi veri." (Ibid.)
