Livre de Job mis en vers français.

Manuscript on paper, bound., [19th century?]. Good. Octavo (18 cm); [1], 78 leaves, paginated in manuscript. Latin and French text on facing pages. Bound in waste vellum manuscript in French, no longer easily legible. Pages thumbed and toned at edges. Interlinear corrections in text, as well as tipped in overleavers with corrected text.

All we know of this manuscript book derives from examination of the physical evidence. The text does not correspond to any known French verse translation of the Book of Job, so it seems to be a private endeavor. The unprofessional cursive orthography accords stylistically with handwriting typical of the 19th century, but the structure and materials of the binding could indicate an earlier origin. The Latin text of the Vulgate appears on the pages facing the translation.
