The Traicitié de la forme et devis comme on fait les tournois (Paris, BnF ms. Français 2695) written around 1460 by the Duke René D’Anjou (1409-1480) is noteworthy for synthesizing in a single work practices from princely court culture aristocracy of Late Middle Ages, focusing on tournaments and, moreover, an originality of combining textual and iconographic material to convey a message intended by the author. Regardless of its particularities, there are a few studies about this treatise since scholars have been considering it an irrelevant textual material. In this paper, I will demonstrate the importance of revisiting a manuscript to provide a corrected historical source for future analysis. Concurrently, I shall exhibit the possibilities and limitations of expanding the research for medieval studies field in Brazil working with digital content.
