Describe the characteristics of the Later fate in this artwork's History.
Most of the book has been in Montserrat Abbey since 1858. Long before then, it had lost all its full-page miniatures and the calendar, totalling between 29 and 32 miniatures removed and dispersed. The calendar pages and two other miniatures were rediscovered in Ferdinand Maria's collection in the 17th century, possibly acquired by him around 1660 from the painter Joseph Werner. Ferdinand Maria's collections formed the original core of the State Library of Bavaria.
Other sheets were rediscovered over the course of the 20th century, with two miniatures from an English private collection bought in 1984 by the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Another miniature titled Christ's Arrest is known to be in the former collection of Bernard H. Breslauer and two other miniatures were recently identified at two Christie's auctions, Penitent King David (sold on 11 July 2002 as lot 13) and Pentecost (sold on 16 November 2005 as lot 6).
