f Il ms. F (Parma, Bibl. Palatina, Parm. 1206) del Roman d’Alexandre

Since 1976, when the last volume of the Medieval French Roman d’Alexandre was published, none of the manuscripts of the Roman has been thoroughly studied. The present paper deals with ms. F (Parma, Biblioteca Palatina, parm. 1206), written in Italy in the first decades of the fourteenth century, and concentrates on its most outstanding textual features: 1. the verses written in the margin (probably by the copist himself); 2. the peculiar Venjance Alixandre that follows the Roman. Both features will link F with ms. B, written in Italy at the end of the thirteenth century, one of the two manuscripts which preserve, at their beginning, the old and celebrated version décasyllabique of the Roman d’Alexandre.
