In this heavily illustrated volume, the history of this group of manuscripts and the contents of their texts and illuminations are described in detail, with particular attention to the adaptation of traditionally Christian imagery into a Jewish context and the implications of shared Christian-Jewish manuscript workshops in the region. Except for the tantalizing color image on the dust jacket, all plates are in b&w. Shalev-Eyni is at the Hebrew U. of Jerusalem, Israel. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
