Formed under Philip the Bold and passed down to his successors John the Fearless and Philip the Good the Library of the Dukes of Burgundy comprised no less than nine hundred manuscripts copied and illuminated by the greatest artists of the Middle Ages by the time of Charles the Bold This extraordinary and unique library included essential texts of medieval literature such as the works of Christine de Pizan the Roman de la Rose by Jean de Meung and Guillaume de Lorris the History of Charles Martel as well as the Ethics and Politics of Aristotle It was one of the largest collections of books of its time alongside those of the King of France Charles V the Duke of Berry the Medici and the papacy00The two hundred and eighty manuscripts of the collection preserved today in the Royal Library of Belgium cover all fields of medieval thought: literature ancient history sciences morals religion philosophy but also law poetry and chivalric romance The oldest of these works date back to the fourteenth century while the most recent date from the end of the feudal period Many of them were transcribed at the express request of the dukes by renowned copyists such as Jean Miélot Jean Wauquelin and David Aubert Many of these codices are absolute masterpieces of the French or Flemish miniature and have been illuminated by Willem Vrelant Loyset Liédet Jean le Tavernier Philippe de Mazerolles Simon Marmion and Liévin Van Lathem miniaturists whose fame and talent competed with Flemish Primitives such as Jan Van Eyck Rogier Van der Weyden or Hans Memling In the unanimous opinion of researchers manuscripts that belong to the collection such as the Chronicles of Hainault by Jacques de Guise the Hours of the Duke of Berry the Psalter of Peterborough or the Cronic and Conquest of Charlemagne are among the fifty most prestigious manuscripts in the world.
