Original handwriting - 13th century - vellum - 18.5 X 12.5 Cm.

Condition: It is still in good condition despite the fact that it is over 700 years old. The parchment has some browning and stains, the text has faded a bit here and there. Elements that determine its value: The rarity, quality, age, and attractiveness. A top piece for every serious collection.

This is a manuscript on vellum (thin animal skin) with nicely decorated initials and with  pen work in the margin. This concerns an original, inique piece from The 13th century.
