SED-RAJNA (Gabrielle) - Lot 248

SED-RAJNA (Gabrielle) Lausanne, Office du Livre, n.d. (circa 1985–1990). A major study devoted to the history, texts, and iconography of the Hebrew Bible. Gabrielle Sed-Rajna, a renowned specialist in medieval Jewish art, offers a scholarly synthesis illustrated with numerous reproductions of illuminated manuscripts, liturgical objects, paintings, and works from major European and Eastern collections. The book sheds light on the transmission of sacred texts, the exegetical tradition, and the richness of Jewish artistic expression throughout the centuries. It serves as a scholarly yet accessible reference work, particularly prized for the quality of its color illustrations. Large quarto format with an illustrated dust jacket. The dust jacket has a few flaws.
