Composed between 1451 and 1464, the Histoire de Gérard de Nevers is an anonymous prose setting of Gerbert de Montreuil's Roman de la violette, a novel in verse from the early 13th century which relates the love story of Gérard de Nevers and the beautiful Euriant. A pleasant copy in contemporary morocco.
