In his carm. 202 Ad Wilklmum Lisoiensem the French poet Baudri de Bourgueil (1045/46-1130) recounts his meeting with the Norman clerk William of Lisieux. In William's speech, as reported by Baudri, the citation of the once well-known epigram Vinum Normannis (WPS 33487 etc.) has remained unnoticed to this day. The identification of this allusion enables us to correct both the transmitted text and the interpunction of Baudri's carm. 202, 16-21.
