Mamerots manuscript was dedicated to his patron Louis de Laval, governor of Champagne, whose inspiration was the Christian equivalent of extremist jihada xenophobic holy war with its origins in a Papal appeal by Urban II. Les Passages dOutremer (The Expeditions to Outremer) comprises 277 parchment folios, illustrated by Colombe and the finest caligraphers of the medieval era, and now resides in the French national library.
This manuscript is the source of TASCHENs facsimile reprint, which is accurate down to the color of the medieval gold heightening. This two-volume hardcover edition in a slipcase comprising a facsimile volume and a commentary volume with the complete translation of the manuscript text and explanations of Jean Colombes miniatures is a particular testimony to that long, glorious and bloody historical epoch. The battles, burials, religious ceremonies, coronations and royal processions depicted in the 66 colourful miniatures come to life before our eyes and create a forceful image of those centuries-long wars.
The copy belongs to the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris, www.bnf.fr.
