Handwritten Annals Of The City Of Toulouse

These Annals are particularly renowned for the illuminations that decorate them, an original and unique example in Europe of miniature portraits of municipal consuls in the exercise of their office.

As frequently happens in the history of religious foundations, this initial location proved inadequate to the needs of the community.
