One of the finest examples of a complete Hebrew manuscript Bible, the three-volume manuscript completed in Prague in 1489, includes 84 leaves with illuminated panels and Rashi's commentary in a version of interest to scholars due to its textual variants. The Bible was recently on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City as part of its "Prague, The Crown of Bohemia" exhibition. The manuscript was photographed by Bar-Hama Blumenthal Digital Photography. A grant from the Metropolitan New York Library Council's Digital Metro New York helped support the publication project. ______________________________________________ Pearl Berger Phone: (212) 960-5363 Dean of Libraries Fax: (212) 960-0066 Yeshiva University 500 West 185th Street E-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] New York, NY 10033 Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the AJL =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
