Koen,
I've just taken another and slower look at that 13thC mss - and thanks again to Marco for the details (ms Ahmed III, Cod. 2127, Topkapi Museum Library, Istanbul. 1228 by a scribe from Mosul).
An absolutely brilliant example.
To me it looks just like the sort of picture ours descend from, but the Ahmed mss seems a much closer copy from some original ('ur-copy').
One has to wonder whether this is the sort of eastern Christian imagery which first went from Edessa and Nisibis to Baghdad.
Great example.
