Design influences were important. Each region had its own traditions.
I've noticed when illustrators copy manuscripts, they usually don't do it exactly, they interpret rather than copy... with updated fashions and hairstyles and often with the patterns and decorations that they learned for their region. Also, the pigments and palettes were often specific to the region.
