Title varies: pt. 2; Alphabet of tales ... once attributed to Étienne de Besançon ...

Formerly attributed to Étienne de Besançon but apparently the work was not composed until some years after his death in 1294; more probably by Arnoldus of Liége. cf. Catalogue of romances in the Dept. of manuscripts in the Brit. Mus., v. 3, p. 423-438; The Library, Jan. 1905, p. 94-101.
