Illuminated Hebrew Manuscripts - Hardcover
Experts surmize that the art of the illuminated Hebrew manuscript served as the prototype for the better-known Christian and secular works of the Middle Ages. Originating in the ancient Middle East, this Jewish art developed and flourished during the Dark Ages. It reached an artistic climax in the European Renaissance, but was dealt a fatal blow with the advent of the printed book. Of the few Hebrew illuminated manuscripts not destroyed over the ages - the work of many centuries forever lost - the examples that remain attest to the beauty, quality, artistic development and innovation of the genre. This book discusses the breadth of meaning and understanding in the work of these artists.
