For since the Imperial Library of Paris, as is evident from the manuscript catalog page 265 under numbers LV, LVI, LVII, LVIII, LIX, LX, possesses this entire work, except only for the fourth part (LVII), according to the established rule regarding the return of duplicates, only this fourth part was to be retained, while the following ones, namely: the fifth, sixth, seventh, and the conclusion, were to be returned to the Imperial and Royal Library. This the most illustrious Langles, curator of the manuscript codices, who had the responsibility of examining the codices and returning duplicates, promised of his own accord, as seemed just to him, in an autograph letter, that he would send this codex back to us.
