Representations of the Cnd, derived from it either directly or indirectly, are known to have been produced from 1426/7 onwards. Among the available derivatives of the Cnd there are several that are classified as primary copies: that is, copies that each did not derive its representation of the contents of the Cnd entirely from any other available copy or copies of the Cnd. These primary copies comprise the following: |

| Supplements to, and excerpts from, copies of the Cnd |
|
Where these primary copies no longer have all of their initial contents, either because the codices in which they exist were subsequently damaged, or because the transcripts were changed, copies of those initial contents may be available in related secondary copies (listed below). Additional evidence for the contents of the Cnd exists in the notes, correspondence and commentaries of 16thC writers and these documents also sometimes contain excerpts derived from other copies which either no longer exist or have not yet been identified.
