Au musée Anne de Beaujeu de Moulins, La Bibliothèque nationale de France présente en ce moment l'un des plus beaux manuscrits enluminés français. La miniature présentée est l'œuvre de Jean Hey, dit anciennement le maître de Moulins. Statuts de l'ordre de Saint-Michel, Moulins, vers 1493-1494.

Ever wondered how much illumination cost? This note in MS 281 reveals all: 8 large initials for 4 shillings, 188 small initials for 7 shillings 10 pence, and 450 paraphs for 4 pence! A bargain in today’s money . . . (New College, Oxford, MS 281, ff. 170v, 244v) #ManuscriptMonday
