Dear learned members, I hoping someone might be able to help me find out the
identity of a source quoted in a 15th-c. French manuscript, Ms Douce 134.
The passage is attributed to a writer I can't find. The Latin passage reads:
Dit papias super verbo auernus. And the French following those words
describes a place, near Champaign, where there is a hole through which one
descends into hell. And from this hole comes out a great stench which is so
bad that the birds cannot fly about it.
Any help will be most appreciated!! All the best, Marijim Thoene
