Description

About 48 lines of Latin Gothic cursive documentary script written in a tidy hand. Labelled “Testimonium” on the verso side. Document seems to have suffered from some water damage: much of the writing is now quite dim. According to seller a good deal of it responds well to UV light, which he thinks will enable about 80-90% of the document to be read.
