Illuminated illustrations of Froissart; Selected from the ms. in the Bibliothèque royale, Paris, and from other sources

This volume collects and reproduces illuminated miniatures from medieval manuscript chronicles, presenting plates that illustrate coronations, battles, sieges, executions, funerals and court scenes alongside concise descriptive notes. The editor compares several manuscript witnesses, discusses provenance and patronage, and highlights artistic features such as costume, border work, and techniques of illumination. Short commentaries identify episodes depicted by each plate and explain manuscript history and condition, including the movement of particular codices between private collections and royal libraries. The book balances visual reproductions with art-historical and textual context for the illustrated passages.
