註釋

Written by Gabrielle Sed-Rajna and a team of scholars, Jewish Art is the most comprehensive book on this subject and many of the works featured here are being published for the first time. Highlights include: an exceptional examination of Dura Europos, the synagogue on the bank of the Euphrates River that contains the first known biblical images; objects, mosaics, and frescoes discovered on the site of the first Temple in Jerusalem; mosaics from the synagogues of Galilee, from about the fourteenth to the eighteenth centuries; illuminated manuscripts and documents spanning the tenth to the fifteenth centuries from the Near East, North Africa, Spain, Italy, Germany, and France; a close look at the architecture and structure of synagogues, particularly in central and eastern Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and in the United States and Israel in the twentieth century; a great number of documents and objects which were preserved in the former Soviet bloc and which are reproduced here for the first time; as well as very remote discoveries in India and in Yemen. The book also gives for the first time a theoretical approach to a much debated question: namely, how to define the characteristics of Jewish art, which is so stylistically diversified as a result of the dispersion of Jewish communities.
