When the three painters and their sponsor died in 1416, possibly victims of [[Plague (disease)|plague]], the manuscript was left unfinished. It was further embellished in the 1440s by an anonymous painter, who many art historians believe was [[Barthélemy d'Eyck]]. In 1485–1489, it was brought to its present state by the painter [[Jean Colombe]] on behalf of the [[Duke of Savoy]]. Acquired by the [[Henri d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale|Duc d'Aumale]] in 1856, the book is now MS&nbsp;65 in the [[Musée Condé]], [[Chantilly, Oise|Chantilly]], France.
