Description:

Siege of Troy. Book one: Medea is anxious as night approaches and at midnight sends a messenger to bring Jason to her room. Illustrated detail in margin: Medea gives Jason a golden image and other magical gifts to aid him on his dangerous quest. The couple are depicted again in the foreground, Jason with his arm around Medea. There is a floriated, illuminated full border and an illuminated initial 'T' in the text.

The written space is 305 x 200 mm, 2 columns and 44 lines and the script is anglicana formata by two hands.
