- Ed. Kennedy associates Ap (BnF fr. 773) with other mainly 13th c. copies, none of them seems to be Italian: Ak (BnF fr. 341, 14th c.) Ae (BnF fr. 1430, mid 13th c.) A (Corpus Christi 45) Ar (Rennes 255, early 14th c.) Av (Landsdowne 757, 13th c.). Ap is also occasionally associated (esp. up to 130-160) with K (Bodleian, Rawlinson Q. b. 6. 410, first half of the 14th c.), P (BnF fr. 344, second half of the 13th c.), As (Bodleian, Ashmole 828, 14th c.).
