Known as the "Chronologie collée" because it is made up of mounted portraits and sections of text, all clipped from sheets with blank versos.

Consists of 20 sections, each with its own printed title within an engraved border.

Some of the engraved borders are signed in the plate: "N. de Mathonière ex."; others with blank cartouches are signed "Mre. Phillipe excudit" (designed by Master Philippe, Dutch artist, active early 16th century?) Cf. Bénézit.

"Table du contenu en ce present recueil" has blank spaces for ms. foliation.

Engravings and text are mounted within borders of printers' ornaments; some pages with borders only; some pages totally blank.
