¡@Description
Mamerot¡¦s manuscript was dedicated to his patron Louis de
Laval, governor of Champagne, whose inspiration was the
Christian equivalent of extremist jihad - a xenophobic holy war
with its origins in a Papal appeal by Urban II. Les Passages
d¡¦Outremer (The Expeditions to Outremer) comprises
277 parchment folios, illustrated by Colombe and the finest
caligraphers of the medieval era, and now resides in the French
national library.
