"Near the end of the fifteenth century, a Flemish artist known only as The Master of Mary of Burgundy painted one of the last illuminated manuscripts for Engelbert of Nassau, a member of the courts of rulers of the Netherlands from Charles the Bold to Philip the Fair. This edition reproduces this magnificent book, now in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, as closely as possible to the original." "The Book of Hours of Engelbert of Nassau (Bodleian Library, Oxford, Ms Douce 219–220) is a book of hours in the Dominican Rite, illuminated by the Master of Mary of Burgundy, which was produced in Ghent in the 1470s or 1480s for Engelbert II of Nassau.[1] It is regarded as one of the high-points of Flemish manuscript illumination."
