Summary
One in-situ paper fragment from within a Choir Breviary (Franciscan Use). The fragment contains broken lines of Ovid's Heroides, in an Italian Semigothic script. The piece was cut and/or ripped from a host manuscript, then partially glued at the bottom margin of the Breviary page to patch a rip. Content includes the last two lines from XVII (Helen to Paris) on the recto, and the beginning of XVIII (Leander to Hero), continuing onto the verso.
