The recently identified second copy of the Franciscan Liber Exemplorum (LE) exempla collection in the Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek (ULB) Bonn represents a much fuller version of the original thirteenth-century collection than the fragmentary copy held by the Durham Cathedral Library (DCL) that has been the subject of scholarly attention to date. This article compares the two extant copies of the LE, the incomplete fourteenth-century copy in DCL MS B.IV.19 and the more complete version in ULB Bonn MS S 361, copied in the fifteenth century. This study examines the differences between these copies of the LE by focusing on their manuscripts, provenance, and textual variations.
