Le Bestiaire d’amours

The "Bestiaire d’amours" by Richard de Fournival, containing 71 pictures in 65 miniatures. Paris, ca. 1260. Complete colour facsimile edition in original size (170 x 130 mm). Scholarly commentary by Prof. Bruno Roy and Prof. Xénia Muratova.

This is a sensation for manuscripts studies: the important adaption of the bestiary tradition to love literature by Richard de Fournival in the earliest extant copy, a Parisian manuscript with the illustrations as intended by the author and executed by a metropolitan artist during the time of Saint Louis. This manuscript will be discussed in a separate volume by an expert in illuminated bestiaries, Prof. Xénia Muratowa, and Prof. Bruno Roy, one of the leading authorities on French literature of the Middle Ages.

Further information concerning this facsimile edition will be available prior to its publication.
