Lost Manuscript

Babel MS 39

Two thin fragments, both bottom sections of folios, survive as binding strips. They are in different scripts but would appear to be from the same manuscript, with the rather unrevealing name of 'John Smith' recorded on both fragments. Each fragment appears to provide a list of payees.
