Female Expression in a 15th-Century Manuscript

http://blogs.getty.edu/iris/female-expression-in-a-15th-century-manuscript/

“Dido’s story is one of dozens of stories about women in this new Getty Museum acquisition. […] The manuscript contains the translation into French by 15th-century poet Octovien de Saint-Gelais of five of twenty-one epistles originally written by the ancient Roman poet Ovid. It also includes three additional texts by Saint-Gelais that debate the qualities of an ideal woman, mainly beauty and virtue. […] The manuscript was made around 1493 for Anne of Brittany, Queen of France, shortly after her marriage to King Charles VIII in 1491 when she was just fourteen years old.”
