Description:
Merlin describes the future reigns of English monarchs through tales of animal allegory, depicting a lamb, a 'moldewerpe' (mole), a dragon, a wolf and a lion. Rubrication in red ink and a pen-flourished initial introduce the story of how King Arthur defeated King Guillomer of Ireland and how the people of Scotland then swore allegiance to Arthur. The written space is 175 x 135 mm in several secretary hands throughout the manuscript.
