Descriptive card

It is a luxury codex, of which several owners are known (thanks to different colophons and marginal annotations). One can read on f. 118r "Dieu en ayde a Jacqueline" ; a former shelfmark (C 113, f. 1r), combined with an annotation ("Monasterii SS Trinitatis Vindocin", f. 88r) indicate that the manuscript belonged to the Abbaye de la Trinité (Vendôme, FR). During the 19th c., it is part of the collection of J. Techener. In 1862, it joins the collection of the Musée Condé.
