Summary/Abstract: The manuscript Ottobonianus latinus 591 has several interesting features: an origin that is diffi cult to trace (Cambridge or Northern Italy?); a Venetian copyist, Brother Petrus de Fenestris; the reference to an Oxonian “edition” of the text (Oxon. editus ; rubricated titles); the designation of the text Sciendum quod Daniel as notula lecta; the title Replicatio for the six articles. This “edition” has the following characteristics: it transforms question 1 into a prologue; it removes the prologues of Book II and of the six articles; it contains the notula Danielis in Book III, between [018 de beatitudine] and [009 angelo custode]. Two tabulae are joined in a separate gathering, one of them [Tab. de materiis Abraham] to be compared to that of ms. Paris, BNF, Lat. 14576 (a. 1389). This manuscript also has common characteristics with ms. Paris, BNF, Lat. 3087: the [notula Danielis]; and the explicits of questions [012 confi rmatione] and [014 necessitate confessionis].
