The Book of the Queen is a manuscript owned by the British Library. It is a collection of the major works by the medieval author Christine de Pizan (1365-1434). Although Italian by birth, she grew up in France. The picture above shows Christine lecturing to a group of men.
Selected pages from the manuscript are included in this blog. In order to view the entire work in a larger size (thus allowing for more detail) the entire manuscript is available at the following website under the images tab: http://www.pizan.lib.ed.ac.uk/index.html
