Summary
"The hunter's doom, or the world turned upside down: a giant hare is stretching the crossbow from a hook attached to its belt, a boy hides in a tree, under which sits a rabbit; the hare walks off carrying a trussed-up youth, hung upside down from a stick over his shoulder. This section of the manuscript was written by the scribe in Picardian French, the dialect of Flanders, in 1338 and by the Tournai illuminator Jehan de Grise and his atelier in 1344."
