Date Information
| Date(s): | ?1266 to 1300 |
| Notes: | 'nothing in the Chantilly manuscript suggests that it was made in anything but a single campaign. And like the uniform script style and ornament, a small motif of crowns appears throughout the manuscript. The crowns are different from those in the Conradin Bible, but similar to those in other Angevin manuscripts, and point to a project carried out during the reign of Charles I.' (Corrie 2004, 291). 'Una sola copia [dell'Histoire ancienne] di origine italiana è datata unanimemente alla fine del XIII secolo: il ms. Chantilly, Musée Conde, 726; questo è il più antico testimone di tutta la tradizione in cui all' Histoire ancienne si trovano agganciati i Faits des Romains con omissione della XI sezione.' (Palmeri 2004, 228) |
