...Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, was also a noted bibliophile. Besides the books he inherited, he also commissioned a number of works. So one aspect of comparison is the total number of books. These later commissioned works, from the examples in the recent KBR exhibit, are mainly after 1450, with many produced in Flanders. None of these later texts, to my knowledge, have been suggested for comparison with the VMs.

There is a noticeable dropoff in similarity to the VMS in the late 1400s. I've noticed this in the zodiac styles and in the clothing styles. There are exceptions, but if you were to chart it on a curve, the curve drops.
