I should have thought that it was executed a little earlier, say about 1470. However, since the style of the drawings is fairly provincial, a somewhat later date, even the first years of the sixteenth century, would not seem to be excluded. I would not go lower than ca. 1510-1520 because no influence of the Italian Renaissance style is evident.
So if you don't wish to include the 1410-1430 range, then the only way to read the above is as:
1470 = preferred date or lower end
1510-1520 = upper end
That gives a range of 1470-1520.
