The #manuscript contains 105 vivid full-page #miniatures, always set against a glimmering gold background, depicting scenes from the lives of important saints in vivid colors. It is an enlargement of the work of the same name by Jacobus de Vorraigne and focuses in particular on saints with a connection to the Anjou family as well as high church officials from Hungary and Poland. Each miniature page is divided into four scenes divided by artful frames and the #Gothic work already exhibits some of the stylistic changes of the nascent #Renaissance.
