Noticed by M. Delisle, and extracts given by M. Paul Meyer in
D Apocalypse en fr. au xine siecle, pp. cxi, cclxii. M. Meyer says
that it closely resembles Bib. Nat. fr. 9574, which was owned by
Blanche, daughter of Philip V of France, who died in 1358.
The two books are nos. 19, 20, in his and my lists of Apocalypses.
The decoration is copious, bold, stiff and rough : often comic. The
cycle of pictures must be classed as of the ‘second family.’ They
are not of uniform size. The largest extend across the text, but
many are confined in breadth to a column. Blue, pink, burnished
gold are the leading colours.
f. 1. Initial of St Paul with sword. Full border. On R. two geese
and below them a fox in cope with crosier preaching. At bottom
in C. a monkey riding on a goat, an owl (for a hawk) on his hand.
L. a rabbit sits up and an arrow hits it on the nose. R. an archer
shooting at it. A peacock is perched on R.
2. 2 a. John with palm preaches to seated people.
3. 2 b. The Vision of the Lord seated with the candlesticks and
stars. John on L.
4. 3 a. Angel out of cloud awakes John.
5. 3 A Angel bids him write.
6. 7 a. He climbs a ladder to a door in heaven in which is an
angel.
7. Vision of God and the Elders. On the throne beside God
are seven eyes or lamps.
