Thank you for useful suggestions about the doctor hilaris and his
riddles. The "bonasina" I thought to be a piece of garment seems to be
something else. What I translated by "cowl" is -- rarely -- attested in
provencal as a donkey. The "bonasina" should be, merely, a "bona asina",
told me the provencalist, afterwards.
Sincerely
