Hebrew Manuscript Painting

by Joseph Gutmann

Comments by Arianwen ferch Maelgwn:

A wonderful book...with well-researched history and lots of color plates of Torah pages, a few ketubot (marriage contracts), alphabet pages, and some other books like a Haggadah, a scientific tract, etc. The plates show the diverse styles of Hebrew illumination and how they were influenced by the places Jews settled.
