Only eight Yiddish books were printed with illustrations during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The importance of these books lies in the wide distribution that some of them - Yosipon, Minhagim, Tsene U`rene - enjoyed, appearing in many editions over hundreds of years. he printing of illustrated Yiddish books depended on direct contact with non-jewish print-shops. The examination of the illustrations in views of their traditions and origins suggests three possible modes: 1. The borrowing of illustrations from the stock of non-jewish printers, thus drawing on an earlier, non-Jewish tradition of illustrating, as, for instance, in Yosipon, Zurich 1546; Paris un Viena, Verona 1594; Tam Ve-Yashar, Frankfurt am Main 1674; Tsene U`rene, Sulzbach 1692. In Yosipon, Tam Ve-Yashar and Tsene U`rene woodblocks were used that had previously been employed in the illustrating of Christian Bibles. Woodcuts after the series of Old Testament illustrations by Hans Holbein the Younger stand out among these borrowed pictures. 2. The adoption of the tradition, common to Hebrew and European literature, of illustrating books of fables; see, e.g., KuhBukh, Verona 1595; Mashal Ha-Kadmoni, Frankfurt an der Oder 1693. 3. Original illustrations appearing in Minhagim books published in Venice in 1593 and 1600/1. Although they show some dependence on illustrations in earlier Passover Haggadoth, they seem to have been designed by a non-Jewish artist, albeit under the direction and supervision of Jewish patrons of publishers.
