Description: Illuminated Hebrew manuscripts of the 15th century are luminous contemporary witnesses of an interreligious cooperation of Jewish and Christian book painters. Trained Jewish writers, the sofrim, wrote the text on parchment pages. The illustrations were then executed by book painters who did not have to be Jewish. With the help of a Jewish counselor, Christians could also insert the illustrations in the correct text passages. Franziska Amirov presents the joint work of Jews and Christians on Jewish manuscripts in detail for the first time. Numerous illustrations illustrate the Judeo-Christian exchange of motifs and styles.
