## Commentary

Benoît de Sainte Maure: Roman de Troie 1340s Manuscript \(Reg. lat. 1505\) Biblioteca Apostolica, Vatican This manuscript contains the French translation, completed in about 1160 by Benoît de Sainte Maure, of the &#34;De bello troiano&#34; by Dictys Cretensis and the &#34;Excidio Troiae&#34; by Dares Phrygius. Almost all of the leaves of the codex are illustrated with miniatures executed by a number of artists who were not particularly expert. Folio 197v, shown here, depicts the Greeks offering the wooden horse to the Trojans.
