Woodcut of Atilla, the Hun (CXXXVII verso) excerpt from english translation: Attila was a man of stately bearing. Turning his eyes around now here, now there, so that his lofty carriage and power also appeared in his bodily movements. He was a lover of war, not very mild, yet moderate, of good counsel and approachable. He was of short stature, broad chest, large head, small eyes, thin beard besprinkled with gray hair, flat nose, and dark skin
