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 second volume contains the last three books,
i.e., the history of the Assyrians, of the Macedonians, and of
Alexander and the Maccabees. 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.
