De officiis

Decoration: a 2-line initial in red begins the first book (f. 1r), a 3-line pen-ornament initial in the brown ink of the text begins the second book (f. 21r), and a 5-line pen-ornament initial on a yellow ground and decorated in red begins the third book (f. 26r). Written in English (?) protogothic book script. From the library of Lord Brotherton. See for a fuller description: N. R.
