Five healers? You don't have to be a healer to be a scribe or an illustrator. The book might be for the eldest son.
And I didn't say family business (I don't know if the others were thinking "business"). A family project is not the same as a family business. The drawings could have been done by a teenager. Same with the script. Maybe grandpa or dad was the mastermind.
If it was a family, it was a literate one with money for parchment and inks and access to exemplars. A professional family or part of the nobility (not necessarily the high nobility).
