Publisher's Comments (cont.)
A rare 15th century account of French crusades and pilgrimages to the Holy Land. Completed around 1474, Sebastien Mamerot Expeditions Made Overseas by the French Against the Turks, from Charlemagne until 1462 is a unique collection of texts and illustrations describing the dramatic and bloody crusades from the 11th century up to 1462, during which time the French strove to recapture the Christian Holy Land. Jean Colombe, the famous illuminator known best for his work on the addendum to the Tres Riches Heures of the Duke of Berry, is the main artist of the 66 exquisite miniatures. Mamerot manuscript is now held by the Bibliotheque national de France in Paris. It is from this original manuscript that TASCHENs complete facsimile reprint has been made. Readers can now pore over the meticulously reproduced miniatures of battles, church scenes, funerals, religious ceremonies, coronations, and royal proceedings.
