Written in a hybrid secretary script, this exceptional genealogy traces the descent of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester from the earls of Leicester and Chester, beginning with the 11th and 12th centuries, and displaying the heraldic devices of the principal members of these families. Here we see an owner note and an example of the illuminated border that is present throughout the manuscript. *** Genelogies of the Erles of Lecestre and Chester, England, ca 1572-1573 Ms Codex 1070 http://ow.ly/YeGs30e4RuN facsimile: http://ow.ly/NouB30e4RzR *** #kislakcenter #pennlibraries #manuscript #illuminatedborder #manuscripts #geneaology #coatofarms #vellum #codex #script #secretaryscript #familytree #heraldry
