The breviary is an example of the most exuberant phrase of Flemish manuscript illumination, with it’s exquisite artwork being having been attributed to several significant miniaturists including the Master of the Dresden Hours (active in Bruges ca. 1480–1515) and the Master of James IV of Scotland (ca. 1488–1525).
