Decorator A (notice the importance of symmetry)
Just as the decorator traces from one side of the leaf to the other, it looks like motifs that are symmetrical used tracing as well. |

More pronounced spines of acanthus. Acanthus looks stiffer or more brittle. Penned rinceaux looks different. Coloring looks flatter and drier
Go over to confirm
Note white highlighting around acanthus.

This gathering is a good example of large miniature bifolia being treated separately from text pages. Clearly the borders of the large miniature bifolio is first stage (Decorator) while the remaining bifolia are done in a different style and probably a later stage. Compare the work of decorator of folios 57-62 to the decorator of folio 88. The same plant with gold balls appear in both portions (see folio 61). |

Decorator A returns on f. 72r. Appears to be responsible for the entire gathering. The acanthus curls holds a gold ball. This appears to be the same hand that was responsible for the calendar of the Bedford Hours, see f. 1 illustrated in König, p. 34 |

f. 80r: Decorator of f. 32r and Sobrieski Hours returns.
As characteristic of this decorator the penned line of the out lateral lobes of the rinceaux have upturned lines.
The curl of the acanthus does not contain a gold ball. The spine of the acanthus has vertebrae or distinct dots. These are not found in the A Decorator's work.
Historiated initials were left blank.

Close to the decorator of 57-62. This decorator is responsible for the outside bifolio. The same plant detail found on 95 r is found on 59r.
F. 89r close to decorator of 43r but probably different This decorator is responsible for the three inside bifolios (f. 89-94)
On f. 93r the pen line rinceaux in the border and that associated with the initial look different. The pen line of the initial looks close to that of f. 43r. The same thing appears to happen on folio 90v. These are conjugate folios. Doesn't this indicate that the f. 43r artist appeared at the same time or after the f. 89 artist? F. 43r could not be later.
On 94 the pen line of both border and initial are the same. This is true of the remaining leaves by this decorator except for the bifolio 90/93.
Bifolio 88/95 by f. 57 decorator.
Miniature style looks clearly late. |

Are the miniatures and historiated initials in the same style? Looks like the miniatures are in a less sophisticated style (later?)
Note in the unfinished gathering beginning on folio 311 that the secondary decoration is completed and sketches have been added to the historiated capitals while the marginal miniatures show no evidence of activity. |

Historiated initials by a more accomplished hand. Miniatures are in a stiffer hand. |
f 104 and 105 by the f. 43r hand |

f. 106v: By the f. 20r hand |
f. 106v |
Historiated initials are by an earlier better hand like 104 and miniatures in weaker.
Do these stronger initials indicate a terminus ante quem for the borders.? The initial bodies need to have been completed and those would have been done with the rest of the secondary decoration. |
f. 107r 108 by f. 88r hand |
|
All the historiated initials in this gathering seem to be by the same hand- early stage. The border miniatures are early stage as well. |
f. 109r: Clearly f. 20 hand |
f. 109r |
border miniatures by a stronger hand than those of 104. Same style historiated initials. |
f. 110r and 111 by the f. 43r hand |

cw |
Border miniatures and historiated initials look high quality. Strong hand in both
The historiated initial on f. 120v uses the same head but in one the figure is a craftsman and in the other a scholar. Are the historiated initials focusing on the different estates? F. 127v has a king |

So the f. 43r did the outside (137/143) and inside bifolia (139/140) while the remaining two bifolia (137/142 and 138/141) were by the f. 112 hand. |

Gathering by the folio 88r decorator. The decoration is becoming more illusionistic. On f. 395v, there is a fly that appears to cast a shadow. Some of the flowers also appear to cast shadows. Compare to f. 88r where pearls in the bottom margin appear to cast shadows. |

f. 404: conjugate of f. 401. Same decorator. Note drawing of eagle in lower border. The rest of the secondary decoration is completed. Was this left for a separate artisan to finish the eagle? It would make sense that this detail was left undone at the time of the death of the Duke in 1435. This suggests a date for this style of decoration (f. 88r decorator) about 1435.

Has the same decoration set in rectangle like the other gatherings in the sanctorale. |
Small miniatures in a finer probably early style.
Reynolds (p. 445, n. 17: belongs with the post-1435 illumination in manner of working through an entire gathering, despite a shield quartered in red and blue, possible as Bedford's field; borders by the same hand in gatherings 55 (fols. 431-438) and 57 (fols. 447-454) with no references to Bedford, suggest the shield was begun in error. |
f. 423r: looks like a new border style. More traditional rinceaux with acanthus; probably an early stage of production. In style it comes closest to that found on f. 20v. Note how gold leaves are cusped.
Large miniature on f. 425r has unfinished arms at the bottom. The border decoration is the same as the rest of the gathering. |

Small miniatures are done by a different hand on f. 447r than the previous two leaves.
Is it possible that the saints with English connections were given more of a priority in the making of the book? The St George miniature is decorated by a hand that also did the Cuthbert miniature page.
f. 451: Sts Jacob, Jacon Minor, and Philip.
f. 454: Constantine and St. Helen
f. 454v: good example of Paris pen flourish |

(with the same decoration as the other cws in the sanctorale) |
Rubrics do not look complete. Pen flourish decoration never added. On f. 467v there is the gold for a line ending, but the rest was not painted. |
f. 463r: same hand as f. 408v
f. 465r: St Barnabas
f. 469v: Large miniature for St. Albin. Space left in decoration at the bottom of the page for the addition of arms that were never added. |

Original cw erased. Another added at the bottom. |

Is the decorator of this gathering the same as on f. 88r. These decorators are alll clearly related. Are they all the same hand? |

61 (478-485) 8
cw
( consistent with other cws in the sanctorale) |

completed text and rubrics. No evidence of secondary decoration. |

cw
(typcial of sanctorale) |
f. 486r: no rubrics /f. 486v: rubrics not completed./ f. 487r: rubrics are completed./ f. 487v: no rubrics/ f. 488r: no rubrics (good example with big holes in the text)/ f. 488v: rubrics were completed./ f. 489r rubrics were completed/ f489v: no rubrics/ f. 490r: no rubrics / f. 490v: no rubrics/ f. 491r: no rubrics/ f. 491v: no rubrics/f. 492r: no rubrics/ f. 492v: rubrics/ f. 493r: no rubrics / f. 493v: no rubrics
Is this an argument that the rubrics were added by the side of the sheet? For example, 487 r / 492v have rubrics while the other side of the sheet does not have rubrics. |
f. 486r: f. 423r decorator. |

63 (494-499) 6?
cw
(typical of sanctorale, it looks erased) |
Miniatures and historiated initials by the same very weak hand. On f. 497 note the contrast between the large miniature and the marginal miniatures.

Return of f. 88r related decorator. Closest to f. 408r decoration |
f. 497r |

CW
(not set in rectangle. Similar to that found in temporale |

f. 500r: possibly a new hand in secondary decoration. Close to f 112r decorator but clearly a different hand. The pen line decoration and leaf structure is different. |

f. 518r: Anne of Burgundy is included in the historiated initials.
Rubrics not done in most of the gathering. Spaces left. There are rubrics on f, 522v and f. 523r
Good example of a Paris pen flourish on f. 518v. But no pen flourish decoration on f. 521r. |

f. 518v: secondary decoration clearly in f. 20r hand.

f. 529v |
68 (532-539) 8
cw
(enclosed in rectangle) |
Signature marks: xxii on f. 533r
Rubrics not completed in gathering f. 536v and 537r are good examples of not completed rubrics.
No pen flourish decoration |
Possibly a new hand in the secondary decoration. Notice how the intertwined plant strips do not fill the space but pen-line rinceaux is added to fill in area. The plant studies do not look as accomplished as earlier decorators. Probably close in date to the decorator of f. 112 r.
The same decorator is responsible for the entire gathering. |
f. 532r |
69 (540-547) 8
cw
(enclosed in rectangle) |
No pen flourish initials |

f. 543r and 544r: different decorator
f. 545 and 546: f. 88r decorator
f. 547r: probably f. 408v decorator |
f. 544r |

cw
(there has been a change in cw decoration.)
|
Pen flourish decoration has been added.
Compare scribe of this gathering to previous gathering. Has there been a break in scribes?
The structure of the leaves in the gold ground foliate initials is different from typical Parisian leaves. Compare them to Rouen initials like in Beck, no. 26. Can an argument be made that later portions of the decoration of the manuscript were produced in Rouen? |
f. 548r: decorator is close to that found on f. 112r but probably a a different hand. Strong outlining of floral decoration and simplification of details. |
f. 548r |
71 (556-563) 8
