Date Please for Old Trunk find
« on: Monday 28 May 12 18:05 BST (UK) »
Hello all, this is my first post in this section...I really hope you can help. I have been left some wonderful things recently. Amongst it all was an ugly 1970's suitcase but its contents were fantastic. There are four sheets of rag paper with a history of Noah etc written in a beautiful hand. I would love to get a date for these documents. I have attached a section. Any help appreciated, Sol

And perhaps the early part of that range: the writing is not hugely dissimilar from Richard III's in a letter written in the 1480s.
