File
Identifier: Adv.MS.84.1.32
Scope and Contents
The fragments were recovered from the binding of a copy (pressmark K.5.f) of ‘Excerpta ex Tragoediis et Comoediis Graecis’ (Parisiis, 1626), by Hugo Grotius, where they had been used as binding strips. That recovered from the front of the volume is part of a formal document, possibly a late 16th-century precept of clare constat, mentioning Tamworth and persons and places nearby. That recovered from the back appears to be part of a list of names in a 15th-century hand.

15th century, ?late 16th century.
