Highlights of the extraordinary collections include a fragment of Maimonides' autograph draft of the Mishneh Torah, the earliest dated fragment of the Talmud, exquisitely illuminated manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible, stunning festival prayer books, and one of the oldest surviving Jewish seals in England. Lavishly illustrated essays by experts in the field bring these outstanding works to life, exploring the personalities and diverse motivations of their original collectors. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Saved for posterity by religious scholarship, intellectual rivalry, and political ambition, these extraordinary collections also detail the consumption and circulation of knowledge across the centuries, forming a social and cultural history of objects moved across borders from person to person. Together, they offer a fascinating journey through Jewish intellectual and social history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Abrams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1851245022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781851245024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bodleian Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.50h x 9.80w x 1.50d","brand":"Rebecca Abrams","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43978717298943,"sku":"9781851245024","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8769eb7-2704-4195-86a4-e3119d5fce95.jpg?v=1683242749","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jewish-treasures-from-oxford-libraries-rebecca-abrams-9781851245024","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
