This manuscript from the 16th century contains the Latin
translation of the tract entitled De tranquilitate animi by
Plutarch, made by the French humanist Guillaume Budé in 1505. It
is preceded by a letter from Budé to Pope Julius II, to whom the
translation is addressed. The manuscript does not include
illustrations, though the 16th century binding contains two scenes
depicting the Virgin Mary: the Assumption of Mary and the Blessing
of the Virgin Mary by the Holy Trinity.
