To add

archivesetmanuscrits.bnf has some more information not covered yet, but I can barely write in English right now..

Écriture : littera gothica textualis formata. Patrick de Winter identifie le copiste au scribe parisien Jean Lavenant. "The Grandes Heures of Philip the Bold…", in Speculum, 57, 1982, pp.814-815; Rouse, Manuscripts and their makers…, 2000, I, p. 267-268 ; II, p. 75-76. F. 96-97: Hymnes de la Vierge transcrites d’une encre et d’une main légèrement différente.

This one's simple enough, we could have a link to Blackletter#Textualis.

Décoration: Ce livre d'heures où coexistent deux styles profondément différents, l'un tirant sa source de Jean Pucelle, l'autre annonçant le style gothique international, est un témoignage de la rupture de style qui se produisit dans l'enluminure frnaçaise dans les deux dernières décennies du XIVe siècle: cf. Les Fastes du gothique..., p. 343.

This sounds like a good quote, probably from this book Personally, I don't see a huge difference between Jean Le Noir and the subsequent artists, but maybe we could use it? --Hillbillyholiday ^talk 06:46, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
