MS Glasgow Hunter 252 presents a significant amount of Picard isographs, mostprobably copied from its model. These variants are consistent with the regionalvocabulary one can also find in the text, meaning that the anonymous acteur is likelyto have grown up and/or been trained in Picardy. This evidence makes identificationof the acteur with Antoine de la Sale, Olivier de la Marche, Michault de Chaugy orPhilippe Pot, as was argued for in the past, rather unlikely.
