Beautiful borders in the ganto brugeois style on a gold background with cut-out flowers or on a compartmentalized background around the engravings and on the facing page. Blue and red initials. Engravings by Simon Vostre or Antoine Vérard. They were used from May 22, 1496 by Simon Vostre and around 1498 by Vérard. The design is by the Master of the Apocalypse of the Sainte-Chapelle after I. Nettekoven (H. Tenschert, Horae B.M.V. 158 Stundenbuchdruck der Sammlung Bibermühle, 2003, pp. 121-124) also named Master of the Very Small Hours of Anne of Brittany (Jean d'Ypres? ) by N. Reynaud (France 1500, cat. expo. Grand Palais 6 Oct. 2010-10 Jan. 2011, cat. 113-123). This good-quality illuminator can be placed in the entourage of Simon Marmion. We recognize his pastel colors with mauve and pink, as well as the borders. In the case of the Annunciation to the Shepherds, he demonstrates his inventiveness by not following the engraving (Fr. Elsig, "La dynastie Marmion et Amiens: quelques observations", Peindre à Amiens et Beauvais aux XVe et XVIe siècles, Milan, 2011, pp. 75-82).
