Le régime du corps.

Written for Hugues de Salve by Jehan Quatredens.

Written in a good semi-current French gothic hand, 30 lines to a page. Initials in gold and colours: paragraph marks in alternate blue and red, headings in red. On the first leaf is a large illuminated letter L in gold and colours containing a miniature-slightly rubbed-of a Physician in a red gown seated before a lectern, lecturing to a number of students: on fol. 2v a similar letter D depicting the Almighty, seated and holding an orb in gold. Both these letters are decorated with ornamental borders of leaves and grotesque figures in gold and colours.

At the end 'Laus tibi christe quia liber explicit iste'. On the verso of the last leaf, perhaps by the same hand, a note 'Les vertuz des grains de geneure cueilliz entre les deux festes', ending 'Geneuri grana sunt omni tempore sana'.
