The reconstruction of a manuscript from the Library of the Dukes of Burgundy that was long thought to be lost sheds new light on its wide-ranging contents, including an account of the Danse Macabré. Thanks to descriptions from the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries, three sections of the manuscript have been found, split between Paris and Besançon. Codicological analysis means its origins can be dated to between 1420 and 1430, around the time that the mural paintings of the Danse Macabré were created in the Parisian Holy Innocents’ Cemetery, then under Anglo-Burgundian rule. Thus, we can show that the court of Philip the Good was even more important than previously thought for the origin, reception, and dissemination of the Parisian Danse Macabré text and the theme of the Dances of Death in general.
