The Author Writing. The Author is seated at a desk composing his moralizing book on foxes. Outside his window several foxes frolic and provide him with inspiration. The red border is filled with flowers and jewels strung on a chain. The coat of arms in the lower margin belongs to Philip le Beau (1478–1506), the Archduke of Austria who later became king of Castile and Leon. Rosenbach Museum & Library, Philadelphia, MS 197/30, fol. 1
