Boccaccini provides another flowchart. This a
genealogy of indicating which documents came first,
and which influenced another.
Again, format your font to Courier or some other
fixed font type...but this is a much simpler flow
chart.... so it shouldn't be a problem:

[END OF CHART]
This "chain" of documents includes lots of
texts that I've never thought to read.
In a future post, i will identify the key
factors of one document that connects it to
the other, per the viewpoint of Boccaccini.
Comments or thoughts about this "chain" are,
as always, encouraged!
