Two half-leaves recovered from reuse in a sixteenth-century English binding, collectively containing a single column of 26 lines of main text in a tiny university hand, nearly every line with interlinear gloss and full glossed margins, numerous other scribbles from reuse in later binding, trimmed at edges with small natural flaw in parchment and some stains (two from modern rusty paperclips), overall fair and legible condition, each cutting approximately 105 by 160mm.; with small blue paper handwritten sale description listing price as “£3/10/”

De Anima was written c. 350 BC., and attempts a discussion of psychology based on the biology of the bodies of all living things.](https://cdn1.bigcommerce.com/n-yp39j5/2jd97/products/309/images/714/IMG_0721__11522.1546603677.220.290.jpg?c=2)
