In the twentieth century, two manuscript parchment bifolia of the chanson were found in Italy, where in the early years of the seventeenth century they had been used as bindings for other documents; these, with many other mediaeval manuscripts, are believed to have originated in the libraries of the d'Este family, which shortly before had moved its court from Ferrara to Modena.Шаблон:R One bifolium was discovered by Monica Longobardi in Imola, and is held in the Biblioteca Comunale, the municipal library of that town. The other was included in a group of documents later transferred from the Archivio Notarile di Bologna, a legal archive, to the Archivio di Stato or state archives of Bologna; it was described in 1931 by Шаблон:Ill, who may have removed it from the archives at that time.
