Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a remarkable discovery of ancient Hebrew Bibles adorned with illuminations, a practice previously unknown among the Jewish people. The author delves into the origins of these illuminations, tracing their influence to Persian art and suggesting a possible Babylonian provenance for the manuscripts. These illuminations shed light on the cultural and artistic exchange between different civilizations in the ancient world, particularly between the Jewish and Persian traditions. Furthermore, the book examines the differences between the sacred Scroll and the profane texts of the Bible, highlighting the importance of the Scroll as the authoritative version used in religious ceremonies. By comparing the two versions, the author unravels the evolution of the Hebrew text and the role of scribes in preserving its accuracy. This book offers valuable insights into the history of the Bible, the development of Hebrew calligraphy, and the intersection of Jewish culture with the wider artistic landscape of the ancient world.
