Further details
By mistake, Joseph is shown as old man in the stripping scene - but a comparison with the other two manuscripts in Saint-Omer suggests that it is the stripping and not Jacob being shown the cloak - this suggests that the source of Saint-Omer MS 236 was probably not this manuscript but a similar one.
