I can't tell from the descriptions either and I also am wondering which
manuscript
or manuscripts they are using. I have the Brereton and Pichon editions
in French.
The latter is two volumes. Are they using those books or the manuscripts
or a combination?
We may have to wait until an edition actually appears before we can tell
what this
one contains.
