BNF Mandragore database is one of three major French collections of
illuminated mss that's now linked through a single portal:

http://www.manuscritsenlumines.fr/

I don't know if that means they're taking out the gallica index links, but
perhaps you can search for the ms there and see if there's a new main
page?

I love the BNF images and hate hate hate their search engines and frames.
I'm hoping this new portal will be an improvement, but it's brand new and
I haven't yet had a project that has given me the excuse to play with it.
