Dear Alfonso
You will find a short and precise account on versus leoninus in E.
R. Curtius, "La Litterature latine et le moyen age europeen" (initially in
german, of course, but I read it in french), Cap 8, par.4) Curtius quotes
Carl Erdmann, "Corona quernea, 16)but my edition doesn't give any precise
bibliography.
