Quelques secrets d’un manuscrit de Pétrarque révélés en croisant littérature et chimie
In 1366, Petrarch wrote an ambitious work, De Remediis Utriusque Fortunae, which is composed of 254 dialogues concerning the reactions to adopt in the face of life’s vagaries. This work was translated into ancient French in 1380 by Jean Daudin, under the title, Les Remèdes de l’Une et l’Autre Fort...

In 1366, Petrarch wrote an ambitious work, De Remediis Utriusque Fortunae, which is composed of 254 dialogues concerning the reactions to adopt in the face of life’s vagaries. This work was translated into ancient French in 1380 by Jean Daudin, under the title, Les Remèdes de l’Une et l’Autre Fortune (Remedies to Adverse and Prosperous Fortune). Seven manuscripts of this translation are currently known, including the manuscript in the Bibliothèque Méjanès in Aix en Provence that is dated from around 1460. This richly illuminated manuscript raises several questions. Who commissioned it? What did the second illumination that has since disappeared represent? What workshop made the miniature of folio 6?
