15. Coronation Ordinal of 1250 , Paris, Manuscripts Department, Western Section, Lat.
1246, Parchment
The fifteen miniatures of the Coronation Ordinal of 1250 present the oldest known iconographic cycle showing the coronation of a French king in the cathedral of Rheims, virtually as it would be staged until 1825. The archbishop of Rheims, assisted by the abbots of Saint-Remi of Rheims and of Saint-Denis, officiated in the presence of the peers of the realm. This manuscript was consulted for the coronations of Francis I (1515) and Henry IV (1594). http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/bnf/bnf0003.html

20. Gossouin of Metz, Image du Monde (Picture of the World) , Paris, 14th century,
Manuscripts Department, Western Section, Fr. 574, Parchment
The Picture of the World apparently is the oldest encyclopedic treatise written in a vernacular language. Composed in the dialect of Lorraine, it was written in 1246 for Saint
Louis's brother, Robert d'Artois (b. 1216-d. 1250), who wanted to know how the world had been "constructed." The text is divided into three parts: God and human intelligence; nature and the elements of the cosmos; and, physical phenomena and astronomy. This opening depicts the arts of Logic, Rhetoric, and Arithmetic..23. Guillaume de Saint-

This account is the French translation of a Latin original, since lost, which was used in the canonization proceedings of Louis IX (1226-1270). It was composed for Blanche of
France, Saint Louis's daughter. The manuscript's ninety illustrations are divided into two series: the first relates to the edifying actions of the king's life; the second consists of sixty-five supplementary miniatures illustrating the miracles that occurred at the sovereign's tomb in the Abbey of Saint-Denis. http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/bnf/bnf0003.html
