Jewish Texts On The Visual Arts

  • Jewish Texts On The Visual Arts

  • Attribution

    edited with commentary by Vivian B. Mann

  • Publication Details

    Book, Cambridge University Press, 2000

  • Description

    Jewish texts are a hidden treasure of information on Jewish art and artists, the patronage and use of art, and the art created by non-Jews. Those scholars able to read them do not understand their art historical importance, while many art historians who would understand these references are hindered from access to these texts because of language barriers.
