This manuscript in two volumes contains a compendium of Roman history from the foundation of the city to the age of Constantine. It was composed in the 14th century by the Bolognese author Roberto della Porta for the governor of Bologna. The text in the manuscript was translated into French for Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy. Some of the miniatures were executed by Loyset Li�det.
On folio 1 of the first volume, Philip the Good and other members of the court are shown visiting the workshop of David Aubert where the manuscript was produced. David Aubert dominated the book market of Bruges from 1460.
