8 Clark 1992, p. 195-208, especially p. 200-201. To the ten should perhaps be added a Book of Hours in the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris (NAL 3214) published in 1998 by Marc Gil, who ascribed all 12 of its surviving full-page miniatures (a thirteenth, originally between fols. 94 and 95, has been removed) to an associate of Marmion and dated them ca. 1465-1470; Gil 1998, p. 43-48. Samuel Gras has also recently identified an unpublished Horae made in the 1470s with at least ten inserted miniatures by a Marmion follower in Berlin (Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz, Ms LH3).

18 As Anne-Marie Legaré has observed, Marmion is also eulogized by Louis de la Fontaine in his Recoeil des antiquités de la ville de Vallenchiennes, composed between 1551 and 1554 (Douai, Bibl. Mun., Ms 1183). Legaré 1996, p. 223-224.

24 For the Guildhall Hours, see Vanwijnsberghe 2013, p. 125-143 et passim, cat. XI, and fig. 149. While Vanwijnsberghe dated the Guildhall Hours to about 1460, I proposed a date between about 1460 and 1470 in Clark 2014, p. 382. For another like bouffant by Caussin, see the Pentecost in the Gould Hours (Chicago, Newberry Library, Ms 188, p. 34; Vanwijnsberghe 2013, fig. 411; ca. 1470-75). A follower of Caussin, the Master of Carpentras 78, similarly coifed one of the apostles in the back row of the Pentecost in his name manuscript (Carpentras, Bibliothèque Inguimbertine, Ms 78, fol. 12v; Vanwijnsberghe 2013, fig. 347; ca. 1460-70).
25 The earliest appearance of this hairstyle known to me is found in a Man of Sorrows ascribed to the Master of the Luçon Missal in an Hours dated 1401 in Barcelona (Biblioteca de Catalunya, Ms 1850, fol. 177v; Meiss 1969, fig. 810). Most often the coif was favored for angels surrounding apparitions of God the Father. The Master of the Boucicaut Hours and illuminators in his orbit exploited the coif in the first third of the fifteenth century (Meiss 1968, figs. 29, 118-20, 125, 131, 211-14, 216-17, 251, 256, 263, 271, 291), as did the Limbourg brothers and their followers (Meiss 1974, figs. 388, 389, 569) and the Master of the Rohan Hours and painters in his orbit (Meiss 1974, figs. 390, 865, 866, 873). The Bedford Master and illuminators in his circle in both Paris and northern France favored the hairstyle from the 1410s until at least the 1440s (König 2007, p. 45, 46, 105, 108; Clark 2016, fig. 37, ills. 7-9, 12, 62, 121, 128, 129, 138, 150, 158, 159).
26 For the Collins Hours and its painter, see footnote 14. The two other folios in the Collins Hours where such heads can be found in the borders are 101v (Coronation of the Virgin, lower margin) and 177 (text page with the incipit of the Stabat mater, lower and outer margins).

28 For the Dartmouth Hours, see most recently Gil 1999, p. 304-309 et passim, cat. 68, and figs. 413-420. I know the book’s miniatures only from black-and-white prints bound together with the 1964 sale catalogue in the Books and Manuscripts Department of Sotheby’s in London. In the late 1980s the manuscript was in a private collection in Vancouver, B.C., Canada; I have not been able to determine its present whereabouts.
29 Other wearers of the Guildhall hairstyle in the Fleur des histoires are the triumphant David carrying the freshly severed head of Goliath in the lower right-hand corner of the illustration on folio 42 recto and the male onlooker on the near side of Charlemagne’s deathbed on folio 274 recto.

36 166 and 159 kilometers separate Amiens from Ghent and Bruges, respectively; 77 and 95 kilometers lie between Ghent and Bruges, respectively, and Valenciennes. By contrast, a mere 54 and 67 kilometers separate Tournai from Ghent and Bruges, respectively. In addition, Tournai is located just 20 kilometers south of the border separating the francophone and netherlandophone southern Netherlands.

42 Given the modesty of these commissions, Maurice Hénault concluded that Jehan was “not at the head of his profession” (Hénault 1907-1908, p. 120). However, the Amiens documents record only Jehan’s institutional commissions; records of his private commissions have not been identified or do not survive.
43 Lemaire De Belges 1549, p. 70, col. 2 : “De Marmion, Prince d’enluminure / Dont le nom croist, comme paste en levain / Par les effects de sa noble tournure.” Lemaire de Belges (1473-1524/1525) was the godson (and possibly nephew) of Jean Molinet (1435-1507), who wrote Simon Marmion’s epitaph in 1489 (see Table 2). Lemaire de Belges was studying with Molinet in Valenciennes around the time of Simon’s death there, which makes it very likely that both men knew Simon personally. If so, they must at least have known of Simon’s brother Mille and of his professional reputation, even if they didn’t know Mille personally.
44 In 1993, Nicole Reynaud wondered whether Mille Marmion might be the anonymous Second Master of the Grandes Chroniques de France (Saint-Petersburg, National Library of Russia, Erm. 88; Avril and Reynaud 1993, p. 90).
