The Miroir Historial is a 1475 French illuminated manuscript of a universal history, produced in a Paris or northern French workshop for a noble patron and now held by the J. Paul Getty Museum. Its miniatures show caravans, hermits, a horned devil, and biblical scenes in flat pastel colour with gold borders and ornamental initials, offering a designer a model for medieval manuscript framing, gilded initials, and narrative panel composition.
