Abstract: Manuscript on parchment of Fatti di Cesare, Italian adaptation of the French prose romance Li fait des Romains
Description: In Italian.
Script: copied by one hand in Southern Gothica Semitextualis Libraria. The first word of a Book, after the (planned) initial, is written in Gothic majuscules.
There are guide letters and space has been reserved for 2-line initials (3-line at the beginning of a Book), but only a few of these have been executed (plain initials with the simplest penwork decoration, by a later hand); the large fancy black initial at the beginning of the Prologue is equally a later addition made by an unexperienced hand. There are neither headings nor other decoration.
Binding: the binding is lost. The quires are sewn on four double white leather thongs.
Provenance: Purchased from the collection of Bernard M. Rosenthal, Berkeley, CA (MS 202).
