 »This collection was mainly devoted to the remarkable group of manuscripts which were executed in Rouen, in the first years of the 16th century, for King Louis XII and his minister, Cardinal Georges d’Amboise, archbishop of Rouen; Around sixty plates have been borrowed from these beautiful volumes, the most interesting of which have been reproduced in full. We followed them with paintings which adorn the cartulary of the Saint-Maclou church in Rouen, executed a little later. Finally, in the last part of this collection, we have given a first choice of Norman books of hours, most of which still recall the manner of the artists of the Rouen school.
