Other extremely important MSS. acquired by the Duke himself are the MS. _de la Coche de Marguerite d'Angoulême_ and the _Psalter of Queen Ingeburge_, of which the Duke was particularly proud. It commences with a _Calendar_, followed by a series of paintings on gold backgrounds representing scenes from the Old and New Testaments, and dates from the thirteenth century. It belonged to Queen Ingeburge, the unhappy and neglected wife of Philippe Auguste and in it are entered the names of her father, Waldemar the Great, King of Denmark, of her mother, Queen Sophia, and of the Comtesse Eleanore de Vermandois, her faithful friend during long years of trial, thus proving unquestionably her ownership of this precious volume. She has, moreover, entered in it the date 1214, the year in which she was recognised as Queen of France. On the last page appears the following entry: "_Ce psaultier fut de Saint Loys_," showing that the MS. subsequently came into the possession of St. Louis, King of France, himself. In Charles V's _Inventory_, dated 1380, it is described as "_mon gros psaultier, nommé le Psaultier St. Loys, très richement enlumyne d'or et d'ancien ymages_," and we learn that in 1428 it was preserved in the Château of Vincennes. From that time, however, it disappeared for nearly two hundred years until it was found in England by Pierre de Bellièvre, who secured it and presented it in 1649 to Henri de Mesmes. The miniatures are similar in style to those found in English MSS. of the thirteenth century; the colours are luminous, black and blue being predominant, and the whole work is painted on a gold ground. The initial letters and the decorative caligraphy show skilful technique and were evidently designed at the period of which Dante speaks as "_L'onor di quell'arte ch'alluminare è chiamata in Parisi_."[32] It is very probable that this _Psalter of Queen Ingeburge_[33] served as the model for many other illuminated manuscripts. Another noteworthy royal MS. acquired by the Duc d'Aumale which is of special importance is the _Breviary_ of Jeanne d'Evreux. Amid the delicate decorations of the border around the illuminated text may be seen the coats-of-arms of France, Navarre, and Evreux; and it contains no less than one hundred and fourteen miniatures in _grisaille_ upon coloured and gold backgrounds. The Gothic attitudes and graceful figures recall the style of Jean Pucelle, which, dating from the years 1327-1350, had been introduced into Paris before the coming of Northern realism. Jeanne d'Evreux, wife of Charles IV, was well known as a connoisseur in illuminated books, and this exquisite work of art passed to Charles V, by whom it was kept at Vincennes in a coffer along with the _Breviary_ of Belleville.
