Thanks to Barry, I found the following very illuminating link:
http://www.orbilat.com/Proto-Romance/index.html

The site contains also another work in Vulgar Latin, the Peregrinatio
Aetheriae. Besides, it shows some of the graffity on the walls of Pompeii, a
nice corpus of one-liners in Vulgar Latin.
