The original is lost; the text survives in the following manuscript tradition:
B = Venice, Archivio di Stato di Venezia, Miscellanea atti diplomatici e privati, busta 5, doc. 179; a simple copy that was, based on the handwriting, most probably made by Philip, the son of late Leon de Fara of Milan, during the reign of Patriarch Bertrand of Saint Genièsa (1334–1350).
