Kidd identifies this group of 7 leaves as coming from Seville, Biblioteca Capitular y Colombina MS 82-714. The manuscript was originally written for Raphael de Marcatellis (1437-1508), an illegitimate son of Philip the Good and abbot (1478-1507) of St. Bavo in Ghent, whose still unexplained monogram “LYS” occurs on f. 144v.
