page 609 note 1 In one place in the chapter on Dagroian F has chouse and FB robes. It is hard to see how FB can have translated chouse (chose) into robes, tut easy for both readings to be derived from an original Italian robbe. But this instance stands, as far as I have noticed, alone. And Benedetto in another place suggests that the original may have contained even more Italian than F does.
