A quick ...Thank you for searching for a recording!<br /><br />A quick initial check turns up a diptych panel in the Museum Mayer vsn den Bergh, Antwerp, dated c. 1400 (and sometimes attributed to Melchior Broederlam) with St. Joseph cutting up a stocking, and an altarpiece ("Middelrijns altaar") in the Catharijnconvent Museum in Utrecht dated c. 1410 with St. Joseph keeping his bare foot warm Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758649432241863530.post-47869693369585635162013-12-29T12:23:30.408+00:002013-12-29T12:23:30.408+00:00Interesting - I'm not familiar with that icono...Interesting - I'm not familiar with that iconographic tradition, but it certainly seems to spring from the same idea. Sadly I don't think this carol has been recorded, although others from that manuscript have been.
