This is Folio CCXXXV, and the complete English translation of both sides of the leaf can be provided upon request. Comes housed in a beautiful double-sided frame allowing safe viewing under glass of both sides of the leaf. Not examined outside of frame. Frame measures approximately 19" x 13.25". The entire verso is visible from the rear side of the frame and therefore the leaf itself measures approximately 16.5" x 11".
