Identification de deux manuscrits italiens de la Chronique d'Ernoul et de Bernard le Trésorier

Among the manuscript witnesses of the Chronique attributed to Ernoul and Bernard the Treasurer, manuscript Paris, Arsenal, 4797 (F26, which belonged to Francesco I Gonzaga) and Bern, Burgerbibliothek, 340 (F25), can be localized to Northern Italy, between Lombardy, Emilia and Veneto. The article discusses the codicological and palaeographic features of the two manuscripts, and their textual relationship. Both manuscripts have been copied by two different scribes; the study of their scripta confirms the proposed localisation. It is thus possible to better understand why Italian authors who lived and worked in the area where F26 and F25 were copied (Francesco Pipino, Riccobaldo da Ferrara and Matteo Maria Boiardo) also used the redaction of the text contained in these manuscripts.
