A Key Manuscript for the Reconstruction of the Illuminated Production of the Studium in Orleans during the 13th Century: The Huguccio of Pisa ms 669 of the Biblioteca Universitaria of Padua

Starting from the peculiarities of the illuminated decoration of a manuscript of Huguccio of Pisa, Derivationes, ms 669 of the Biblioteca Universitaria of Padua, whose colophon indicates that it was copied in Orleans, the author proposes to rehabilitate the role of this city, seat of a flourishing Studium specialized in the teaching of Roman law, as a production center for legal manuscripts, during the second half of the 13th century.
