Description
Two texts by Gerald of Wales.
The Topographia Hibernica, Gerald's travels through Ireland, is on folio 1r-48v. There are a few colored animal illustrations in the margins. The images are mostly small and many are poorly drawn, and they do not always align with the text they are illustrating; some are not even on the same page.
The Expugnatio Hibernica, on the conquest of Ireland by England, is on folio 49r-98v. Illustrated with a map of Ireland.
