This illustrated book was published in connection with the New York Public Library's exhibition on the history of the Hebrew book from antiquity to modern times. The illustrations and essays depict the history and development of the printing and publishing of Hebrew texts from the Dead Sea scrolls to modern books, placing them in the context of Jewish history and culture. The contributors have examined such topics as the decoration of Hebrew books, the origins and methods of Hebrew printing and binding, the Hebrew book in Christian Europe, and the publishing and translation of modern Hebrew. The contributors to this volume include Chaim Potok, David Ruderman, Michael Grunberger, Mordecai Glatzer and Frank Moore Cross.
