This article seeks to address the study of the margins of Besançon’s manuscript 551 containing the work of Gautier de Coinci, Les Miracles de Nostre Dame. Outside the story, a narrative linking devotion to education can be found in the motives of marginalisation and Latin glossy: scenes of proff-life such as hunting and fair tournaments, bestimaries talking about humility, penitence and punishment, supported by small judgments taken mainly from the Church’s Sagrade Wrights and Padres. A repertoire of texts and images pointing to a secular owner, without ruling out the possibility that he was a woman, on account of the fact that these advantages were the most important in the 13th century French women’s programmes of conduct.
