"Following on from my previous post where I gave (what I think is) an Occitan reading of the marginalia on Voynich Manuscript page f17r [“meilhor aller luce[n]t ben balsamina“], I’ve been looking for good sources on Occitan marginalia. My plan for this post is to start searching for all Occitan marginalia and then focus on the period 1400-1450 later once I’ve got a general handle on the broader literature."

"The first philologist of interest here (I believe) was Paul Meyer (1840–1917), who spent more than forty years tracing the geography and chronology of Provencale-language documents. Having worked his way through the BnF’s Occitan documents (most of which date to the 13th and 14th centuries) and some English libraries’ ones too, he ended up looking at Occitan marginalia."

"Interestingly, these marginalia often appeared not in Occitan documents, but in French and Latin documents. Though Meyer doesn’t seem (unless you know better?) to have explicitly expressed it, his opinion appears to have been that even though Southern French scribes typically wrote Latin or French, many (possibly even most?) spoke Occitan."

"Even so, finding 15th century Occitan marginalia has proved somewhat unrewarding. One adjacent article I found was Lyudmila Shegoleva’s “Marginal Notes in Latin and Old Occitan in the Bible from the Collection of N. P. Rumyantsev”, but that only relates to some 14th century marginalia, alas."
