Illumination:
This is a handsome example of Parisian illumination at the end of the 15th century. The elegance of the figures and their rather generalised faces with high cheek-bones relate the manuscript to the style of Jean Pichore, the illuminator best known for the manuscripts he painted for the royal family and members of the court. Pichore is recorded in Paris from 1502 to 1520, as 'enlumineur et historieur', and is documented as running a large atelier in the city: F. Avril and N.Reynaud, Les manuscrits à peintures en France 1440-1520, 1993, pp.282-285.
The subjects of the large miniatures are as follows: St John on Patmos f.13, the Annunciation f.24, the Visitation f.43, the Nativity f.52, the Adoration of the Magi f.59, the Presentation in the Temple f.63, the Flight into Egypt f.67, the Coronation of the Virgin f.72v, David and Goliath f.77, Pentecost f.93, Job on dungheap f.96; Virgin and Child f.132, God enthroned f.137.
The subjects of the small miniatures are as follows: Sts Luke f.14v, Matthew f.16, Mark f.17v; Virgin and Child f.18v; Pieta f.21v, Sts Michael f.140, John the Baptist f.140v, James f.141, Christopher f.141v, Sebastian f.142, Nicholas f.142v, Antony Abbot f.143, Katherine f.143v, Barbara f.144, and Geneviève f.144v.
