Prayer Book, including Office of the Dead, St. John Evangelist, This prayer book was produced ca. 1430-40, likely in Brabant, but the contents of the calendar point to Tournai and Cambrai, and the Office of the Dead is for the Use of Liège. North Netherlandish influence, possibly connected with works by the Masters of the Gold Scrolls, is suggested by the style and iconography of its images. The manuscript is notable for its large number of miniatures - forty-eight in total - as well as the sense of narrative within them, and the diversity of the suffrages they illustrate is striking
