Influences may also have been drawn from the Book of Kell and Book of Hours manuscripts.

The most likely suggestion is however that the scenes are possiblly illustrating the life of David as Protypical King and Ruler. Some suggestions for some of the scenes are as follows:

* perhaps David fighting Goliath

* receiving Goliath's sword and the Loaves of Presentation from the High Priest Ahimelech;

* playing the lyre to soothe King Saul;

* perhaps David and Batsheba;

* perhaps David rescuing the hostages;

* perhaps David fleeing from Jerusalem (or taking it);
