Description
Mamerot’s manuscript was dedicated to his patron Louis de
Laval, governor of Champagne, whose inspiration was the
Christian equivalent of extremist jihad - a xenophobic holy war
with its origins in a Papal appeal by Urban II. Les Passages
d’Outremer (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.
