## Commentary

The codex contains an anonymous verse poem written c. 1320 by Convenole da Prato \(c. 1270-1338\), a teacher and poet from Prato, Petrarch&#39;s master. The poem eulogizes King Robert of Anjou \(1278-1343\). Of the 36 leaves in the codex, 30 contain miniatures, some including single figures and other showing groups. The decoration is considered to have been executed by artists of a Florentine workshop whose style is close to Taddeo Gaddi. On the left of the double page \(folios 4v and 5r\), Christ in Majesty holds the terrestrial globe showing the three continents \(Europe, Asia, Africa\); the facing page presents the Virgin in prayer at the top of a short flight of steps.
