Dits des philosophes. Le mireon aux pecheurs. Le livre Griseledis. Le mireon des pecheurs
A late medieval French manuscript of moral sayings and wisdom texts, the Dits des philosophes, translated by Guillaume de Tignonville (died 1414) from Arabic-derived sources, likely made in France for a courtly or clerical reader. The pages are handwritten in black ink in two columns, with red and blue penwork initials, rubrics and paragraph marks, and a few marginal annotations; a designer might take the clean justified text blocks and the restrained red and blue initial accents as a model for historical page layout.
