Description
Verso is in good condition, the ink on the recto has smudged, but is still easily legible.; Humanistic Script (Similar to some Carolingian Scripts); The vellum was prepared meticulously, it is incredibly smooth to the touch and looks almost as white as a sheet of paper. However, the lettering is very simple, with many corrections made. There are no images. It is likely that this book was made for academics, Italians were very interested in Ancient historians like Livy.; Brown ink
