This manuscript is one of four known textual witnesses (not
counting a fragment) of the Roman de Jules César attributed to
Jean de Thuin, a poem of about 9,500 alexandrines that is an
adaptation of Lucan’s epic poem the Pharsalia. The beginning and
the end of the text of the Roman are missing in this manuscript,
where the main divisions in the poem are signaled by alternating
blue and red initials placed at the beginning of each stanza and
accompanied by filigree in the opposite color.
