The entire manuscript is in the hand of the scribe Jehannin de Costimont, a clerk associated with the Burgundian court under Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy (r. 1419-1467). 500 Decoration: Ink-and-wash miniature executed at or near Arras (fol. 1r).* It depicts Laurent, the Dominican, at the royal court with his book, which is open to the in scription “Somnia regis facit iste predicator.” The scene shows the author reading to four royal children seated on a bench, since King Louis IX (r. 1226-1270) had commissioned the book for the moral instruction of the future King Philip III, who is perhaps the child depicted holding a book with a red binding. The miniature illustrates words on fol. 1r: “Et le faisoit souuent lire deuant ses enfans.” A monkey and a dog play in the foreground. The king sits on the throne surrounded by seven courtiers, one of whom holds a falcon. 563 France, 19th century. Bound in Paris by the firm of René Simier, founded around 1800 by René Simier père (d. 1826) and continued by René Simier fils (1772-1843). Signed on the lower spine (gilt) “REL. P. SIMIER.” He signed bindings in this way from 1800 to 1818.

The arms of Chantemerle are painted in the initial on fol. 7r; his device (a cage) appears in three initials (fols. 49r, 86v, 89v), the latter two with the letters “S.E.” Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872), of Middle Hill, Worcestershire, acquired the manuscript in the 1820s, either from the Parisian bookseller Royez or from the library of the French historian Amans-Alexis Monteil (1769-1850). The manuscript remained in the Phillipps library until the London antiquarian bookseller William H. Robinson, Ltd. purchased the remainder of the library from the Phillipps heirs in 1946. The Robinson Trust consigned the present manuscript to a Sotheby's, London, auction in 1967. The Seven Gables Bookshop, New York, acting as the agent for the Princeton University Library, purchased the manuscript on 28 November 1967 at the Sotheby's sale. 510 4 Medieval & Renaissance manuscripts in the Princeton University Library, |cvolume 2, pages 330-332. 650 0 Virtues |vEarly works to 1800. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010117794 650 0 Vices |vEarly works to 1800. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010117793 650 0 Christian ethics |xCatholic authors |vEarly works to 1800. 650 0 Manuscripts, French |zFrance |zArras. 650 0 Manuscripts, French |zNew Jersey |zPrinceton. 650 0 Illumination of books and manuscripts. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85064332 700 1 Phillipps, Thomas, |cSir, |d1792-1872, |eformer owner. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n50078542 710 2 Seven Gables Bookshop, |ebookseller. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2002007237 710 2 Princeton University. |bLibrary. |kManuscript. |nPrinceton MS. 105. 902 yw |bo |6t |7m |dv |f1 |e20190716 950 |c2023-08-09 16:31:48 US/Eastern |b2021-07-12 11:24:13 US/Easternfalse
