This manuscript contains the poems La satyre megere, a poem about
the reconciliation of King Louis XII with Emperor Maximilian I, Les
quatres eages passees, followed by a Ballade and three Rondeaux,
and at the end Le portail du temple, inspired by an incomplete
treatise by Boccaccio. This artificial composite manuscript
consists of three original manuscripts entitled "Satyre Megere,
poème d’Antitus dédié à Aymon de Montfacon, evesque de
Lausanne, l’an de grâce mille cinq cens". The author Antitus
Faure was chaplain to the Dukes of Burgundy and Savoy and,
beginning in 1499, to the Prince-Bishop Aymon de Montfaucon (†
1517) of Lausanne, to whom he dedicated these three works. This
illuminated manuscript was bought by the state archive of the
canton of Vaud in 1920.
