The unique manuscript of the Breviculum of Thomas Le Myésier, also known as the Electorium parvum, contains the oldest cycle of illuminations relating the life story of a near contemporary layman. The subject of this pictorial biography is Ramon Lull (d. 1316), who was Le Myésier’s teacher. The manuscript was created at Arras before 1322 under Le Myésier’s supervision. The main text is a concise explanation of Llull’s philosophical system, designed to prove Christian doctrine to Muslims and Jews by rational argument without relying on scriptural authority. The manuscript’s twelve full-page miniatures in gold and bright colors include many Latin inscriptions in colored inks.
