Villard de Honnecourt (Wilars dehonecort, fol. 1v; Vilars de
Honecourt, fol. 15v) was a 13th-century artist
from Picardy in northern France. He is known to history
only through a surviving portfolio of 33 sheets
of parchment containing about 250 drawings dating from
the 1220s/1240s, now in the Bibliothèque
Nationale, Paris (MS Fr 19093). The great variety of subjects
(religious and secular figures suitable for sculpture,
and architectural plans, elevations and
details, ecclesiastical objects and mechanical devices, some
with annotations), makes it difficult to determine its
purpose. Other subjects such as animals and human
figures also appear.
