NOTHING LIKE IT IN ENGLISH,
By
This review is from: Hebrew Manuscripts of the Middle Ages (Hardcover)
I don't understand why the first review categorizes this as a 'newsletter'. It is a complete hardbound definitive discussion with 169 b&w clear illustrations + many (unnumbered) illustrative manuscripts.
[I am not sure Amazon will print my present review since other companies sell this expensive book at a lesser price). View Amazon's table of contents and you will see that this definitive book covers all aspects of Jewish manuscripts, including various types of scripts (hard to find in other books). If this subject/area interests you, its uniqueness probably justifies the price and you will not be disappointed. As mentioned in its introduction it is an updated elaboration and reorganization of the author's several previous (only in French) books. The translation from the French is excellent -- no doubt due to the person (outstanding Jewish teacher and author). Again, if this is the book you are looking for, it is the best I have seen; and its organization is most satisfying. I consider it a masterpiece. |
