Folio 7r

The miniature here, the work of the Rambures Master, depicts the building of the Tower of Babel, with masons moving bricks, digging, or operating a pulley. The rubricated text reads: 'Comment membron fist commencier lou- / urage de la tour de babilone'. Note how the initial 'A' following the miniature incorporates the arms of the Créquy family.
