    The one with the brown toning is in a private collection. I had a question, is the lighter paper also written in Latin? I know the toned manuscript is in latin

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Not sure, but the lighter one does look like Latin to me. Maybe somebody more knowledgeable will drop by.

    Both are Latin, the pencil writing is most likely the Lot number/ Auction number from an auction house.
