The present codex contains Mamerot's text, and the 64 illustrating miniatures are thought to be the work of the famous illuminator Jean Colombe \(c. 1430-c. 1493\). Numerous collaborator assisted him in this task, among them a certain Jean de Montluçon \(active 1461-1505\). The miniature on folio 176v depicts Baldwin IV being anointed within a Gothic church. At the age of 13 he was elected King of Jerusalem in 1174. This miniature is probably the work of Jean de Montluçon. ## Related artworks - [A History of Western Saints]() - [Antiphoner]() - [Aristotle: De Interpretazione]() - [Aristotle: Works]() - [Augustinus Hipponensis: Quaestiones et locutiones in Heptateuchum]() - [Augustinus Hipponensis: Quaestiones et locutiones in Heptateuchum]() - [Augustinus Hipponensis: Quaestiones et locutiones in Heptateuchum]() - [Beatus of Liébana: Commentary on the Apocalypse]() - [Belleville Breviary]() - [Bible Historiale]() - [Bible moralisée, part I.]() - [Bible moralisée, part I.]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
