Belleville Breviary.
Service book of Dominican use (240*170 mm; Paris, Bib. N., MSS lat. 10483–4). It was made for Jeanne de Belleville, wife of Olivier de Clisson, later passing to Charles V, King of France, and then to his brother Jean, Duc de Berry. Liturgical evidence indicates that the book was probably made for Jeanne in the years 1323–6, before her marriage to Olivier. Notes in the margins refer to names of illuminators and include ‘J. Pucelle’ (fol. 33r) undoubtedly the well-known Parisian illuminator JEAN PUCELLE, who worked c. 1319–34. His exact role in the decoration of the Breviary is unclear, but at the very least he coordinated the book’s production. Despite losses, there remain 79 illustrated folios, on many of which there are richly decorated borders. It is one of the most profusely decorated medieval Breviaries and parts of its illustrative scheme were copied in manuscripts made for its subsequent owners: for example, the Breviary of Charles V (Paris, Bib. N., MS. lat. 1052; for illustration see VALOIS, (2)) and the calendar pages of the Petites and Grandes Heures of Jean, Duc de Berry (Paris, Bib. N., MSS lat. 18014 and 919, respectively).
