Will's right !

Is it because it's a copy that means the dates seem a bit odd ?

Yes. The illustrators of a copy of a manuscript tend to use the costume of their time and region.

In general, you have to understand that an illustrator is just that: someone who adds illustrations to a manuscript. It could be a copy of an older manuscript, or a new one, doesn't matter much. There's text, with gaps where the pictures need to go. So most (all?) illustrators complete the pictures based on what they themselves have seen. NOT the pictures in the original manuscript!

I could also be that a manuscript has different illustrators, as they sometimes specialize. One does the big page-filling ones, another the smaller ones in the text, a third the initials/capitals. At least that's the case for Western medieval manuscripts.

In Mughal miniatures the best painter does all the faces.
