This short coda to the volume draws links with the poetic miscellanies or recueils produced in continental Europe during the same period, noting points of comparison between the two categories of manuscript. This is an important reminder that even insularity has its limits, and that literary and textual traffic permeated international borders even in the pre-modern age.
Keywords: recueil, French medieval manuscripts, chansonniers, insular manuscripts, Guillaume de Machaut, lyric, troubadour
