For since the Imperial Library of Paris, as is evident from the catalog of manuscripts, page 265 under the numbers LV, LVI, LVII, LVIII, LIX, LX, possesses this entire work, with the exception of only the fourth part (LVII), according to the established norm regarding the sending back of duplicates, this fourth part only was to be retained, while the following, namely: the fifth, sixth, seventh, and the conclusion were to be returned to the Imperial Royal Library. The most illustrious Langles, curator of the manuscripts, in whose care it lay to examine the codices and return the duplicates, promised of his own accord, as seemed just to him, by an autograph note that he would send this codex back to us.
