Eliezer-Zusman of Brody: The Early Modern Synagogue Painter and His
World discusses Jewish cultural and artistic migration from Eastern
Europe to German lands in the first half of the eighteenth century.
Focusing on Eliezer-Zusman of Brody, who painted synagogues in the
Franconia area, hitherto neglected biographical aspects and work
methods of religious artisans in Eastern and Central Europe during
the early modern period are revealed. What begins as a study of
synagogue paintings in Franconia presents an unexpectedly intensive
glimpse into the lives and sacred products of painters at the
periphery of Jewish Ashkenazi existence.
The chapter about idol worship in Maqrizi's Universal History
includes excerpts from books that are no longer extant. They make
it harder to argue against the import or even the very existence of
pre-Islamic idol worship.
