Autograph of the lessons of the young King Louis XIII (1601-1643)
by his Praeceptors, the philosopher and Humanist Nicholas Le Fèvre
(1544-1612) and Monsier Fleurence. Each translation of selected
excerpts from the works of King Manuel Palaiologos for his son
John, Praecepta educationis regiae, from Latin into French, written
by the hand of the young prince, is followed by a dictum in the
form of a Latin sentence by the Praeceptor, continuing the lesson.
The library received the manuscript in 1796 as a gift from Samuel
von Chambrier, a politician and historial from Neuenburg.
