Abstract
This essay discusses the racialized portrayal of Dangier in Bodleian Library MS Douce 195. In contrast to the notion that the Middle Ages had no recourse to race as phenotypical difference, it argues that the orientalization of depictions in late medieval manuscripts like Douce 195— mostly studied through costume—is also to be found in portrayals of skin pigmentation.
