[MANUSCRIT]. [OISE]. [BEAUVAIS]. Necrology of the Convent of the Cordeliers (Franciscans) of Beauvais In Latin and French, decorated manuscript on parchment. France, Beauvais, 1552-1694. 60 ff, preceded by a parchment endpaper, old counter-guards, multiple cursive scripts, inscriptions by a circa 1600 hand on the upper counter-guard and on the recto of the first leaf, script of a larger module to announce each day listed in the obituary, letters KL and names of the months in red ink, thick parchment with various rulings suggesting that the parchment is in fact replacement parchment, already ruled. Bound in full dark-brown calf, cold-stamped decoration (16th-century binding), spine with 4 nerves (some old restorations), leather on boards cracked in places, but nevertheless in good overall condition. Some stains and erasures on some obits (ff. 1, 9, 24v, 33v, 41, 56v), parchment cut at the top but not missing on ff. 38-39. Sheet size: 205 x 150 mm; binding size: 215 x 155 mm. A moving record of deaths at the Cordeliers de Beauvais convent. We note the numerous entries and obits for the Loysel family, closely linked to the Cordeliers convent, as benefactors and whose several members chose the convent as their burial place. In the 16th century, the Loysel family was an important one for Beauvais and the town of Senlis. A calendar for each day, introduced by the phrase: "Hac die mortuus est..." or "Ista die defunctus est frater...", records the deaths mourned by the convent, brothers and priors, as well as personalities close to the convent and lay donors. For example, we find donations from Philippe Camus: "Philippus Camus doctor Rhemiensis ac huius conventus bis gardianus qui dedit casulae pulcherime et calicem argenteum...sepultus est autem in choro ante imaginem divi mauritii anno 1599" (f. 4), or that of Firmin de Marcelle: "Firminus de Marcelle doctor Rhemensis...Le couvent a reçu de luy un calice d'argent dorée et deux petites burette...". (f. 14), or Toussaint La Gache: "Toussanus La Gache sacerdos qui dedit ymagines virgine marie de dormitorio et claustro...". (f. 29). This obituary contains numerous references to the Loysel family, an important Beauvaisis family, lords of Quévremont, Flambermont, Exonviller and other places. Four members of the Loisel or Loysel family successively held the position of Lieutenant General of the Batillage in Senlis between 1558 and 1673. One of these was Marie de Cornouaille, wife of Odel Loyseau, whose obituary reads: "Le 20e may est deceddée damoiselle Marie de Cornoaille femme de monsieur nostre père spirituel et bienfacteur de ce couvent Odel Loysel escuier seigneur de Flambermont, de Senesfontaines et d'Esonviller, conseiller du roy et president a Senlis mil vinq cens quatre quatre vingt seize et est enterrée en la chappelle dicte des oyseaulx" (f. 24). Another important member of the family, Claude Loysel, lord of Flambermont: "Nobilis vir et pater spiritualis hujus conventus et benefactor Claudius Loysel, scutifer et dominus de Flambermont... 1568" (f. 21v). Claude Loisel de Flambermont (c. 1520-1568) was born in Beauvais, parish of Saint-Sauveur. Esquire, King's advisor, he was elected in the election of Beauvais, lord of Flambermont and Senéfontaine. He is buried at the Cordeliers next to his father and mother. Around 1544, he married Nicole de Nully, daughter of Pierre de Nully (1488-1549), mayor of Beauvais in 1543. Nicole de Nully appears in the present Nécrologe: "Ce jour 20e octobre mil VC IIIIxx sept et [sic] deceddée de bonne mémoire Collecchon de Nully vesve de feu nostre père sprituel noble homme Claude Loysel escuier seigneur de Flambermont, Senesfonteines..." (f. 48v). Other members of the Loysel family appear in the Nécrologe: Jean Loysel, first physician to King Louis XII and François I: "Hac die 18 obiiit nobilis vir et pater spiritualis huius conventus et benefactor Joannes Loysel dominus d'Esomviller et de Belloy anno 1558" (f. 39). Jean III Avis Loysel was first physician to kings Louis XII (1498-1515) and François I (1515- 1547). Louis XII appointed him master and administrator of the Maladrerie de Saint-Lazare in Beauvais from 1503 to 1519. Loysel was physician to the scholarship-holders at the Collège de Cluny. He was the first to grant ordinary physicians of kings and princes of the blood the privilege of practicing their art in Paris, even if they were not doctors. Nicolas Avis, also known as Loysel, alderman of Beauvais in 1512, son of Jean Loysel, regent and dean of the Paris Faculty of Medicine, first physician to King Louis XII and François I: "Nobilis
