Recueil d'Arras

The Recueil d'Arras is a mid 16th century manuscript. Tentatively attributed to the Netherlandish artist Jacques Le Boucq [fr],^[1] the recueil (miscellany) comprises 293 paper folios, of which 289 (numbers 5–177, 179–293, and 271)^[2] contain copies of portraits of named historical people.

The book is named after the city of its current location, Arras in Northern France. It is not known who commissioned the book, or for what purpose; but it is of significant historical interest, as it reproduces many near contemporary depictions of known political, courtly, or artistic persons.
