This manuscript consists of three incomplete volumes of the Epitome of Plutarch. It was translated from Greek by Pietro Candido Decembrio (1399-1472), a humanist who worked for Filippo Maria Visconti, and as a secretary at the Aragonese court. The manuscript is decorated by fine miniatures of the Lombard school and contains the most complete fifteenth-century figurative commentary to Plutarch's work.
The initial from folio 137 represents Pelopides wearing ornate armour and carrying a bow and arrow.
