Description:

Siege of Troy. Book one: There will be two main attacking Greek forces and a smaller number of Greek men led by Hercules (Heracles) and Jason. Hercules and Jason will try to seize Troy as King Laomedon's Trojans engage in battle with the main Greek forces. The battle begins and Castor slays many Trojans. Illustrated bas-de-page detail: the battle between the Greeks and Trojans outside Troy. There is a floriated, illuminated full border and an illuminated initial 'A' in the text. The illustration has been identified as being painted by an artist stylistically close to William Abell, an important mid-fifteenth English illuminator. The written space is 305 x 200 mm, 2 columns and 44 lines and the script is anglicana formata by two hands.
