Jewish texts are a hidden treasure of information on Jewish art and
artists, the patronage and use of art, and the art created by
non-Jews. Most of these texts are written in Hebrew and Aramaic.
Those scholars able to read them often do not understand their
art-historical importance, while many art historians who would
understand the references to art are hindered by language barriers.
Jewish Texts on the Visual Arts includes fifty translated texts
dating from the bibilical period to the twentieth century. They
touch on issues such as iconoclasm, the art of the 'Other', artists
and their practices, synagogue architecture, Jewish ceremonial art,
and collecting. Through the introduction and essays that accompany
each text, Vivian Mann articulates the importance and relevance of
these sources to our understanding of art history.
