Description:
|
Siege of Troy. Book four: the Greeks tell Priam they are taking Helen back to Tenedos and leave Troy. That night the brass horse is unlocked letting out the men hiding inside. The Greeks who only pretended to leave for Tenedos make their way back to Troy entering through the broken wall. The Greeks slay the Trojans and the treachery of Anthenor and Eneas (Aeneas) is made clear to Priam. The written space is 305 x 200 mm, 2 columns and 44 lines and the script is anglicana formata by two hands.
