notes
Ms. codex.
Bibliographic record created by BPL staff based on description by Dr. Lisa Fagin Davis. Consult full description for complete list of miniatures.
Origin: Illuminated in Northern France in the second quarter of the fifteenth century. Likely meant for the use of Poitiers. Many of the landscapes and compositions in the miniature cycles are similar in style to those created by the Workshop of the Boucicaut Master.
