Il manoscritto Francais 112(3). Rome: Treccani, 2022. A reproduction of the codex containing the narration of the saga of the Round Table dated to 1470 and preserved in the Bibliotheque nationale de France.

Great space is given to the representation of the tournament and battle scenes, which are reserved for accurate large-scale miniatures, which accentuate the warlike component of the narrative.
