Black & white image of an engraved copper plate reproducing an illuminated manuscript

🚨It's a bit of a long shot, but can anyone recognise the MS from which this was copied? It's supposed to be from the Treaty of Chartres (or Montreuil, 1299). One of the men is Edward I. The images of the #copperplates have been flipped.

Strange that no one asked which engravings are on the image side of the newly acquired copper plates. The answer: the images on pages 103 and 123 of Otto van Veen, Amoris divini emblemata (Antwerp, M. Nutius & J. Meursius, 1615; Antwerp, ex officina Plantiniana B. Moreti, 1660).

Great day at work today. Purchase of two 17th century copper plates, both with a mark of the Antwerp coppersmith Peeter Stas. Here is a photo and macro shot of the same mark on one of the plates.
