Fol. 47-9 are blank, apart from a catchword on fol. 49. For the two works, which are generally found together in MSS. and which were printed together by Mansion at Bruges (Proctor, no. 9317; Campbell, no. 1632 B.M. Cat. of Books Printed in XV cent. ix, ii (1962), pp. 132-3), see P. Perdrizet, `Jean Mielot, l'un des traducteurs de Philippe le Bon', Revue d'histoire litt. de la France 14 (1907), 475. The first prologue to the Debat (b CO) is found in the Mansion edition but is not found in any of the Brussels MSS. The Controversie (a) was pr. Burger, Eine franzosische Handschrift der Breslauer Stadtbibliothek (Stadtisches Realgymnasium am Zwinger zu Breslau, Beilage zum Programm Ostern 1901), Breslau. Our text is very close to the printed version (M, identifi able as Mansion's edition) which he cites. R. Bossuat (Manuel bibliog. de la litt francaise du m.d., 1951, no. 5982) says that Burger printed the Debat (b) at the same time, but it is not in the Bodleian copy. 9518280
