Notebook of 6 ff., copy XIXe s. Unbound. Size : 205 x 315 mm. This letter is listed among the nine known letters of Jean Perréal : "Letter to Louis Barangier, secretary of Marguerite of Austria, dated Lyon, January 4, 1511". Very long letter, essential for the history of art and the Church of Brou [Royal Monastery of Brou in Bourg-en-Bresse].

In 1963, this letter is still in private hands. On the correspondence of Jean Perréal, see the article by P.
