There's an early manuscript from ca. 1250 (I found the text).  It's
refered to as the Sion manuscript.  It's in Scully's book (which I
can't access at the moment), and he has an article about it entitled
"A Parchment Roll from the Second Half of the Thirteenth Century" (I
can't remember what journal).  I was rather surprised to discover this
early version about a year ago.  I can send the new URL for the French
text.

Pax,
Cecilia
