Cicero's De amicitia (French translation), Presentation of the book to its patron, This Flemish manuscript, written ca. 1470, contains Laurent de Premierfait's French translation of Cicero's Latin work De amicitia.

A miniature, created in the style of Flemish artist Loyset Liédet, accompanies the text, and depicts Premierfait presenting his translation to the duke
