Breviary of King Martin.

Illuminated manuscript (Paris, Bib. N., MS. Rothschild 2529), perhaps the best example of the style practised by Catalan illuminators at the end of the 14th century and the beginning of the 15th. It was originally commissioned by King Martin of Aragon (reg 1395–1410) from the scribes and illuminators of the Cistercian abbey of Poblet, the burial place of the kings of Aragon. The manuscript was begun by 1398, when King Martin wrote to the Abbot of Poblet concerning the text of some prayers that were to be incorporated in it.
