The illumination of the manuscript was executed in two campaigns. The first campaign began probably in the mid 1480s (see Brinkmann, Die flämische Buchmalerei, 1997) and encompassed works by the Master of the Dresden Prayerbook (most of miniatures on ff. 8v-258r), his follower (ff. 1v-7r and several borders), Gerard David (ff. 29r, 41r, 297r, with the last miniature probably belonging to the second campaign) and another painter (f. 309r, painted on a singleton). The second campaign began before 1497 and was conducted by the Master of James IV of Scotland who was responsible for the remainder of the miniatures, with 12 spaces left blank. Seven miniatures were added in Spain, in the late 1480s or early 1490s (McKendrick, The Isabella Breviary, 2012) or c. 1500 (Backhouse, The Isabella Breviary, 1993) (ff. 365v, 372r, 374r, 386v, 390r, 392r, 399r. All except the first miniature are painted on separate sheets of parchment and pasted into the volume). Five miniatures were added in the 19th century, in England (ff. 363v, 364r, 367r, 368r, 385v) (see Kren and McKendrick, Illuminating the Renaissance, 2003).
