Jewish
Manuscript Illuminations |
 The British Library’s collection of Hebraica and Hebrew
manuscripts numbers several thousand volumes, including a rich
vein of illuminated documents. The thirty glorious images in this
book of postcards are among the best in the Library’s collection.
Included are images from the Duke of Sussex German Pentateuch (c.
1300); the Golden Haggadah (c. 1320), one of the grandest of all
Hebrew manuscripts; the Barcelona Haggadah (c. 1350); the Lisbon
Mishneh Torah 1471–1472); the uniquely illuminated Lisbon Bible
(1482); the Leipnik Haggadah (1740); and several other illustrated
treasures. 30 full-color reproductions.
Pomegranate’s books of postcards contain thirty top-quality
reproductions bound together in a handy, artful collection. Easy
to remove and produced on heavy card stock, these stunning
postcards are a delight to the sender and receiver (and probably
the mailman, too). They also make great little books (a nice gift
for the mailman). This convenient compilation offers a wide
selection of gorgeous cards to choose from, making it easy to find
the perfect postcard to send to any friend, family member, or
casual acquaintance. Note: postcards are oversized and may require
additional postage.
