- Notes: Manuscript based on the Concordance of Guynaud but extensively revised and expanded by Monsieur "I. A. P.," combining his own interpretations with those of Guynaud and commentators identified only as "l''auteur inconnu" [i. e., Étienne Jaubert?], "le solitaire" [Jean Le Roux?], and "l''impression [sic] de Rouen." While Guynaud''s original work was concerned exclusively with the Centuries, the manuscript also deals with the Présages and Sixains.
