Loth writes that he received an account (written?) of this discovery from Prosper Hémon, who either asked or permitted him to publish it. | The discovery of the Breton fragments was published in 1887 by Joseph Loth.

Loth describes a single paper sheet, mutilated, which contained the verse fragments as well as a fragmentary record of transaction between Keremno, lord of Penderf in the parish of Bign[an], and ‘le Labourier’. The record itself is undated but [Dauphin] Tempier, archivist of Cõtes du Nord, is quoted as saying from memory that it dated from 1480. The book in which these fragments were found was a breviary entitled <em>Expositio hymnorum per totum anni cir[culum]</em> and printed in Rouen by Augier and Macé. While the year of its edition was not known to Loth/Hémon, he inferred from these details that it must have been between 1500 and 1524. The location in which the sheet of paper was discovered is described as having been between the vellum book cover and a protective leather sheet. It is not known when it was placed inside. In 1904, Loth announced he would publish a facsimile text in the <em>Annales de Bretagne</em> but such never came to fruition.{{Note|cite=Loth (Joseph) 1904 20aki|at=341}} | Loth describes a single paper sheet, mutilated, which contained the verse fragments as well as a fragmentary record of transaction between Keremno, lord of Penderf in the parish of Bign[an], and ‘le Labourier’.
