This time the translations are helpful. The Greek translation also says "wine", but the Italian version says "beverazo." So I assume this just means compensating the person who found it for feeding and watering it until the owner comes and gets it.

I did eventually manage to get a better scan of this from the BNF. 18th/19th century French cursive is pretty weird but it's definitely Maleszewska

*Two* bodies? In this economy?

Found one more instance of "moine" in the text where it actually means "half". But that wouldn't really make sense here

Usually when adults get wind of this stuff, the meme is dead and they move on to something else. But the teachers at the kids' schools say it, and some of them dressed up as 6s and 7s for Halloween. Someone in the neighbourhood carved a 6 7 into a pumpkin. Somehow this only makes it more popular

The fun thing about this scribe is that they're probably Greek, fluent in French (but not perfectly), and absolutely terrible at Latin!

Also now I'm wondering about the presence of mummers in Jerusalem and Cyprus, I never thought about that before

Hmm, maybe? Here's the manuscript (this scribe sometimes draws a line or an arch to represent a missing E, as in "moiñs" here)

Oui ce sont les assises de Jérusalem, mais seulement un des manuscrits. Il y en a deux mais l'autre omet "des moines". Bizarre!
