Commentary
“Tulerunt ergo fratres” is another motet from Simon Boyleau’s first book of 1544. The motet intabulated here is the 2a pars of “Videns Jacob” The text is paraphrased from the Old Testament, Genesis 37: 31-33:
[31] Tulerunt autem tunicam ejus, et in sanguine haedi, quem occiderant, tinxerunt :
[32] mittentes qui ferrent ad patrem, et dicerent : Hanc invenimus : vide utrum tunica filii tui sit, an non.
[33] Quam cum agnovisset pater, ait : Tunica filii mei est : fera pessima comedit eum, bestia devoravit Joseph. ...
