Binding maybe Provencal? Dimensions : 120 x 170 mm... This manuscript contains prayers and orations copied in France, probably in Provence or Anjou if we judge by the important sections devoted on the one hand to the "festes de Provence" and on the other hand to the "l'ordinaire d'Anjou". One will recall the links between Anjou and Provence around the dynasty of the Dukes of Anjou and Counts of Provence, in particular the personality of the good King René d'Anjou (Angers, 1409-Aix-en-Provence, 1480), Duke of Anjou and Count of Provence and Forcalquier, also King of Naples and Sicily. René d'Anjou lived between the two "countries" and it is known that he resided with his second wife Jeanne de Laval (1433-1498) in Aix-en-Provence from 1457 to 1462 and then from 1469 to 1480 .
