Medieval and Early Modern Greek Manuscripts
<p style='text-align: justify;'>This manuscript, produced in the 17th century, is a copy of <i>Xenophon's Anabasis</i>. The text is a historical memoir of the participation in a Persian civil war in the 4th century BCE of a force of Greek mercenaries, one of whose commanders was the author himself, and their tortuous retreat to the Black Sea after their employer's defeat. The manuscript also contains a series of brief Latin poems on different fruits.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dr Christopher Wright</p>
