The introduction discusses rabbinic views on art and spirituality. The essays in this volume are categorized into three sections: the first focuses on medieval ceremonial art, the second examines Jewish art in Muslim lands from the early Middle Ages, and the third explores Judaica in the Renaissance and rococo eras.
Since turning to the field of Jewish art over twenty years ago, Vivian Mann has concentrated on investigating Jewish ceremonial art within the dual contexts of Jewish law, and the history of decorative arts in general, including the ceremonial art made for the Church and the Mosque. The introduction to this volume considers classic rabbinic attitudes toward art and its relationship to spirituality. The remaining essays are divided into three groups: the first concerns medieval ceremonial art; the second, articles on the Jewish art of Muslim lands beginning with the early Middle Ages; and the third consists of essays on Judaica during the periods of the Renaissance and rococo.
