Between 1416 and 1422, Jean de Courcy wrote a chronicle titled La
Bouquechardière, named after his fief. The chronicle, which
consists of 6 books, is a compilation of mythological, biblical and
legendary stories. The first volume contains the first three books,
i.e., the history of Greece, of Troy and of the Trojans who escaped
the destruction of their town. The Genevan manuscript comes from
the Lyon workshop known as “de Guillaume Lambert.” The
manuscript contains beautiful frontispiece illuminations at the
beginning of each book.
