Description
Excerpted from the website:
- During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, every member of the middle and upper classes desired to own an illuminated book of hours. The Jewish merchants ordered hand- written Hagaddah Shel Pesach, Tehillim, Megillas Esther, and Machzorim, etc. These treasured books were given as gifts on special occasions, such as weddings, bar mitzvahs, and holidays.
- In the most luxurious books, or scrolls crafted for the wealthiest patrons, each section was prefaced by a miniature drawing, and a delicate border of flowers.
