Description:
|
Siege of Troy. Book four: Anthenor tells the Trojans that the Greeks want compensation for the harm Paris did but that peace can be bought, and after all life is worth more than gold.

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