Abstract
"French Renaissance Manuscripts and L'Histoire du Livre." The article explores late French illuminated manuscripts (1515-1547) and their texts to establish their place in the discipline of L'Histoire du Livre alongside contemporary printed books. Evidence of authorship, production, dating, and readership offered by the manuscripts is significantly different and often unique. Ignoring this evidence risks misinterpreting and misdating movements in literature, translation, humanism, and the Reformation.
