A few pen and ink drawings.
Binding: Eighteenth century (?). Quarter parchment over pasteboard, the covers in marbled paper. Flat spine gold-tooled, with red leather label carrying gold-tooled inscription "MANUSCRIT. / 16. SIÈCLE".
Collection of Sir Thomas Phillipps (MS 25554). Purchased on the Edwin J. Beinecke Fund.
Composed of numerous detached pieces (numbered and occasionally annotated by an English hand (1890-1900)), in various hands, some original, but mostly copies of documents and manuscript books, and often almost illegible due to the use of acid ink or the cursivity of the script. Many blank pages; many (blank?) leaves got lost after the codex was foliated. Wanting ff. 68-83, 238-239, 333, 347-364.
Script: Many different hands writing Humanistica Cursiva or Gothica Cursiva, sometimes in careful, but mostly in rapid execution. - Extent
