The application concerns the costs of printing the text 'Schacktavelslek'. The value of the edition - beyond the purely linguistic - lies in the fact that it gives us a unique insight into the structure of medieval society. The text describes the social structure of the time in allegorical form, where the different chess pieces represent different parts of society - from the king and queen down to the peasants.
