This model is based on Peterhouse MS 75.I. It was created by Ben Blundell (section9.co.uk) and Seb Falk (University of Cambridge) in collaboration with Scott Mandelbrote. The project was undertaken by permission of the Master and Fellows of Peterhouse, Cambridge, and supported by the generosity of Dr. Joe Pesce.
