Authentic 1652 Paper Manuscript Document — Post Medieval Renaissance Period Old

Description

For sale is this incredible authentic antique European manuscript. This piece is almost 400 YEARS OLD! It is handwritten in a beautiful medieval script on a frail antique paper. This piece was drafted in the year 1652, just as the renaissance and reformation period was coming to an end in Europe. It is from a southern European country, and is most likely from France. I personally believe that this is a French piece as the writing style is one that was commonly used in the region during the 1500’s (known as Johannine script). This easily identifiable script was commonly used in the drafting of legal documents by legal scribes throughout the region. This particular piece likely served this purpose (possibly a contract, legal minutes, or a government document of some kind). The writing style is complex and can, in some cases, be so unique that it could be traced back to a specific scribe. I purchased this piece from a reputable US based manuscript dealer along with some other manuscripts. Its authenticity is guaranteed. Please study the photos carefully so you will have a good idea of the exact condition. There are some blemishes from aging, but it is in overall good condition (in my opinion). This piece would look great framed or on display! Perfect for any collection! Don’t pass it up!
