In the course of searching for comparable miniatures, similar examples were identified in the National Library of Israel, Ms. Yah. Var. 5. This manuscript, a 15th-century Horae<\/em> (Use of Sarum), was produced in Flanders for the English market\u2014just like Cambridge, Dd.15.25. Based on the distinctive curly border patterns, the illuminations in Ms. Yah. Var. 5 have been attributed to the school of the Masters of Otto van Moerdrecht. This group shares numerous artistic motifs with Nicolas Brouwer, the illuminator of Dd.15.25, who also collaborated on the illumination of the Brussels Bible. The close match between the miniatures provides strong evidence for identifying what\u2014or who\u2014was likely erased, with a high degree of probability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
