Since the VMs critter of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is an interesting comparison with the image from the "Apocalypse of S. Jean" (1313, Liege). And since the Apocalypse text was in the library of Phillip the Good, Duke of Burgundy (d. 1467), perhaps it will help to know more about the library.
So far, it's a work in progress. Any help appreciated.

From this source, most of the books in the library of Philip the Good were commissioned after 1445. The Apocalypse was created in 1313.
Philip the Bold (1342-1404), grandfather of Philip the Good, was also a bibliophile, as was Margaret of Flanders, the wife of Philip the Bold, and she brought with her the book collection of the counts of Flanders. On the basis of chronology and geography, this may be a better source for how the 1313 Apocalypse entered the collection.
It would also be interesting to know which texts by Nicole Oresme were in the Burgundian collection.
