COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
This folding board for playing tric-trac (a kind of backgammon), doubled on its verso by a chessboard, bears the LL monogram of Léonard Limosin and the date 1537. This remarkable object is compelling evidence of the attachment of members of the court notability under François I to society games.
