Another out-of-kingdom scroll, this time a backlog AoA given out by the Prince and Princess of Oertha, West Kingdom.
Text was inspired by Charter # 3, p. 142 – 1328-1341, Inheritance Charter of Knyaz Andrei Ivanovich about ?? in the town of Staritse. From ДУХОВНЫЕ ГРАМОТЫ КНЯЗЕЙ (Charters of Inheritances of the Princes) from Исторические записки, Том 2 (Historical notes, vol 2), Moscow, 1948, found at: http://www.vostlit.info/Texts/Dokumenty/Russ/xvi.htm
No image is available, and I cannot find who the calligrapher/illuminator was. If anyone knows, please let me know.
