Patronage in Clement Prinsault's Traite Du Blason

818_f14v-15.jpeg

This is an exhibition of the Traite Du Blason written by Clement Prinsault in the late 15th century. Focusing primarily on a copy currently owned by Les Enluminures, the exhibition outlines the purposes and history of this work, with a special emphasis on the role of patrons in its reproduction. Other copies are used to facilitate the discussion; notably, a luxurious copy with a minature of Charles VIII, a tidy copy also owned by Les Enluminures, the original presentation copy bearing Prinsault's name, an incomplete copy dedicated to the House of Bioncourt, and the first known printed copy. A folio from a work that influenced Prinsault is also included.
