  • Manuscript 417 contains Speculum eleuationis et exaltacoinis ordinis cisterciensis, a text about the Cistercian order by a monk of Ten Duinen Abbey, Mattheus Pillaert. It was commissioned by Pierre de Virey (d. 1497), abbot of Clairvaux Abbey, for abbot Ten Duinen Abbey Johannes Crabbe (c. 1420-1488) (Folio 50r). The manuscript was made between 1471 and 1488. The manuscript contains some decorations. For instance, the beginning of book starts off with two large initials in green and blue. [Summary by Sarah Vanroye]
