What is Hebrew Illuminated Manuscripts about?
This volume of reproductions of Hebrew illuminated manuscripts is the first of a series of publications in various spheres of Judaica which the publishers are issuing in advance of the Encyclopeadia Judaica. This volume is both an independent contribution to Art History and an example of the production standards of the Encyclopaedia Judaica; illustrations will be a major feature in the Encyclopeadia and special care is being devoted to the color plates. This book contains 60 Hebrew illuminated manuscripts in full color. Two of the world's experts on Hebrew illumination have been associated with this publication: the idea of publishing such a book was suggested by Editor-in-Chief Cecil Roth and the introduction and description of each manuscript is the work of Bezalel Narkiss, senior lecturer in history of Medieval Art at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
