The Book of Sidrac is an encyclopedic anonymous work written in Old French in the late 13th century and translated into several languages. It presents a frame story followed by a dialogue between the king Boctus and the astronomer-philosopher Sydrac, that answers a series of questions, covering subjects like religion, medicine, astrology, the virtues of plants and minerals. This article reexamines the issue of the relationship between the manuscripts of the Italian tradition, starting from the most exhaustive studies on the subject, 1) in order to propose new elements to the classification of the Italian manuscript tradition . 2) with the intent to propose new elements for the classification of the Italian tradition’ codices.Items in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
