14th Century battle scenes, we are always looking for these as scribes to add little miniatures into our scrolls for the fighter community so I though this would be appreciated.

This manuscript is terrific for the baby scribe all the way to the Laurel level. I have made a few scrolls from this book and have always been satisfied. It has a similar feel to the Spitz book so if you like that one, you will like this one too.
