Analysis
The manuscript was copied by a single scribe continuously in legible handwriting. The text of FA was copied from either F5 or F4, the manuscript owned by Stefano della Bella (1610-1664), as is demonstrated by the textual comparison of T1001, which lacks the last word in all three manuscripts. The higher number of chapters in FA does not indicate a longer text than in F5 and F4, as this is due to a different partition of same text. The scribe did not copy the illustrations.

History
The early history of FA is unknown.
