Speaker: Ana Lemos

A Book of Hours from the second half of the 15th century, attributed to Master François, LA147 is said to have belonged to René II of Lorraine, who is depicted kneeling before the Virgin and Child in the illumination that opens the Obsecro te prayer. With our presentation, we intend to pay tribute to Professor François Avril by presenting the results of the study he carried out, which unraveled some of the mysteries contained in this manuscript.

This session takes place as part of the seminar series “Treasures in Parchment – The Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian Collection of Western Illuminated Manuscripts”, the result of a partnership between the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum and the Institute of Medieval Studies (IEM) of the School of Social Sciences and Humanities of the NOVA University of Lisbon (NOVA FCSH).
