The Book of Hours of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain was produced in Belgium around 1475. Margaret of York is believed to have commissioned it. This exquisitely illustrated Book of Hours stands out from other surviving manuscripts of the period due to its late medieval miniatures. - Rare fac-simile in very good state, almost untouched.
