November 1958 Vol I Num 2

On his rearing charger, Jean de Bruges, the Lord of Gruthuyse, has lowered his visor to meet the Lord of Ghistelles in the famous tourney held at Bruges in 1392. In memory of this event, King Rene of Anjou created his magnificent Livre des Tournois, whose illustrations are here presented with an article beginning on page 92. Fortunately the book was preserved for posterity by Louis de Bruges, a descendant of Jean, who ordered two copies made and personally presented one to Charles VIII, King of France, in 1489. Other copies were subsequently made, and the reproductions here are used from the parchment pages of French Manuscript No. 2692 in the Bibliotheque Nationale.
