"The Livre de la vigne nostre Seigneur (the title comes from the parable
of the labourers in the vineyard) in MS. Douce 134 is an illustrated
treatise on the Antichrist, Last Judgement, Hell, and Heaven. Bought by
Douce at a Paris auction, 1823. Apparently the only surviving copy of
its anonymous text. The text is in French prose, enriched with Latin
biblical and patristic quotations: there are many corrections and
insertions by the original scribe. The miniatures are by several hands.
The table of contents specifies that this is book 2; Grenoble,
Bibliotheque municipale, MS. 337, calls itself book 1 of the same text,
and has a colophon stating that it was completed on 5 March 1463 and
that book 2 was made before book 1. Book 1 is a treatise on the
Incarnation, Passion, and Resurrection of Christ. The Grenoble
manuscript is not by the same scribe or artist, and its illustrations
are confined to the margins; the pair (if they are really the two halves
of the same set) had been separated by the 16th century. The Grenoble
manuscript reached its present home from the Grande Chartreuse only a
few miles away, and the double-page miniature of the heavenly court in
the Douce manuscript (fols. 144v-145r) features Carthusian saints very
prominently: perhaps produced by professional artists for a lay patron
with Carthusian connections?" - quote source
