This book of hours caused a revelation when it came on the market three years ago. It had been privately owned for ages and no researcher ever had been given access to it.
The manuscript contains thirty miniatures, which are unfinished. They are made in a style that reminds of the famous Limbourg brothers, which were active in Paris in the early 15th century.
The question now is whether they are really made by the Limbourg brothers themselves, or rather by illuminators working in a similar style, using the same compositions.
You can have a look and decide for yourself, because the miniatures have been published online, together with an extensive description and some miniatures from the Belles Heures to compare:

"Things Unseen: Vision, Belief, and Experience in Illuminated Manuscripts" is on view until September 25, 2016.
