## Commentary

The illustration on folio 46r illustrate an event from the story of Joseph \(Genesis 43 ff\). Joseph, who has become a minister in Egypt, arranges for a valuable goblet to be hidden in a sack of corn belonging to his brothers, who had once sold him into slavery and did not recognise him. After the alleged theft is discovered, Joseph appears to be angry with the accused.
