About this Item

Original Cloth. 4to. XX, 417 pages. 31 cm. First edition. The illustrated Ketubbah is a unique artifact of Judaica. It is, first of all, a legal document virtually unchanged since talmudic times, but it is also an artistic expression of aesthetic tastes and social mores from centuries of Jewish wandering and just as much a part of today's Jewish wedding ceremonies as it was hundreds of years ago. This gorgeous collection of kettubim includes 48 color plates and 124 black and white photographs. Subjects: Ketubah - Catalogs. Manuscripts, Hebrew - Catalogs. Jewish illumination of books and manuscripts - Catalogs. Joodse handschriften. Huwelijkscontracten. Hebrew Union College Skirball Museum - Catalogs. Library Catalogs. Clean and fresh in very good jacket. Great condition. (ART-23-5). Seller Inventory # 33446
