Manuscripts of Leiden University, Beauvais Cathedral, Sir John Donne, details of scribal practices and Dominican copyists are especially important. The codicological and iconographic studies are enhanced by 75 illustrations drawn from manuscripts or from miniatures in the Petites Heures of Jean de Berry and in copies of the Roman de la Rose. Named artists are William de Brailes, Master of Ghent Privileges, Master of Jean Rolin, Jean Colombe. The Literature Section contains research papers on Haveloc, Arthur, Órlám, Tristan, Fergus, Sept Sages, Chemin de Vaillance, an Anglo-Norman religious treatise, Beghine compositions and perspectives on Cloister and Text. One also finds discussions about chevalerie, perdre son alleluia and about translators of the Bible, St Jerome, Boethius and the De excidio Troiæ.
