An early manuscript of Henri de Gauchi's free French translation of the treatise by Saint Thomas Aquinas' famous pupil Egidio Colona (also known as Gilles de Rome, Aegidius de Columna, and Aegidius Romanus). Originally composed for the education of Philip IV (while still Prince Philippe le Bel), the text was translated into French under the patronage of Philip IV. In addition to its age, this manuscript is notable for its crisp calligraphy, brilliant illuminations, and rubrication. The French title is Le Livre du governement des rois et des princes. Bound in 18th century Dutch vellum.
