Margaret of Austria's basse danse manuscript, written in gold and silver ink on black parchment, is an exquisite relic of the artistic culture of the Habsburg-Burgundian court around 1500. This study examines the manuscript's place within the culture of court dance, its place within Margaret's library, its relationship to a contemporary printed source, the choreography and the music of the dances that it contains, and the challenges facing conservators given the book's fragile condition
