This book discusses the decoration types of Sephardic illuminated
Bibles. Unlike illuminated Passover manuscripts from the same
period with their rich figurative and narrative picture cycles,
Bibles are almost exclusively aniconic. Whereas the former borrow
heavily from Christian art, the Bibles are entirely indebted to
Islamic culture. The volume elaborates in particular on the
cultural history of the decorative motifs and types of
ornamentation in an era of cultural transition in Iberia and
culture struggle within Spanish Jewry. The first two chapters
describe the cultural, social and artistic background in which the
Bibles were produced, whereas the other chapters describe the works
of the different schools and discuss them within different
cultural, historical and social contexts.
The text is accompanied by 10 color plates and 141 black-and-white
figures.
