EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illuminated document is a page from the "Book of Statutes of the Order of St Michael," created in the Court of King Louis XI of France in 1476. The Order of St Michael was a prestigious chivalric order established by King Louis XI's predecessor, Charles VII, in 1469. The order was dedicated to the archangel Michael and aimed to recognize and reward military and civil merit. King Louis XI, who reigned from 1461 to 1483, is depicted in the upper left corner of the page, dressed in regal attire and holding the scepter and orb. The king's portrait is surrounded by the royal insignia, including the fleur-de-lis and the lilies of France. The main focus of the page is the statutes of the Order of St Michael, which are written in a clear and elegant script. The statutes outline the rules and regulations governing the order, including the qualifications for membership, the duties of the members, and the privileges and benefits bestowed upon them. The intricate illuminations surrounding the text add visual interest and beauty to the document. The border is adorned with elaborate designs featuring various animals, including lions, leopards, and unicorns, as well as flowers and geometric patterns. The use of gold and vibrant colors adds to the luxurious and regal feel of the page. This illuminated document is a testament to the power and wealth of the French monarchy during the late 15th century. It is also a valuable historical resource, providing insights into the organization and functioning of the Order of St Michael during the reign of King Louis XI. With its intricate designs, clear text, and historical significance, this page from the "Book of Statutes of the Order of St Michael" is a true masterpiece of medieval art and literature.
