Chess -- Vat.lat.5854
Sources:
An apparently-anonymous (?), but large and interesting undated manuscript, full of what appears to be chess problems. The hand isn't the easiest to read, but appears to be Latin, and there is a lot of it.
Any additional info on this book would be welcomed -- I can't find much about it.
The first half of the book appears to be chess positions contained inside of a grid border. There appears to be some sort of graphical notation encoded in the markings on the border and on the last pages, but damned if I have any clue what it means.
