I don't know about this particular MS, but Ivan Franko's archive is
now fond 3 of the T.H.Shevchenko Literature Institute of the
Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in Kiev (used to be vul. Kirova, 4, but
what the new name of the street is I don't know).  This contains not
only I.F.'s own papers, but also his large collection of mediaeval
and early modern MSS, so it is the most likely place to start
looking.  Before you do, though, you should see if you can find the
article in the 50-vol. Zibrannja tvoriv of I.F., published in Kiev in
the 70s-80s (I think), as the notes may provide the information
you're seeking.
