Download and read online ebook Art and Ceremony in Jewish Life write by Vivian B. Mann. This book was released on 2005-12-31. Art and Ceremony in Jewish Life available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Jewish Ritual Art in the Victoria & Albert Museum

Download and read online ebook Jewish Ritual Art in the Victoria & Albert Museum write by Michael E. Keen. This book was released on 1991. Jewish Ritual Art in the Victoria & Albert Museum available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This is the first catalogue of Jewish artefacts housed in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. For an institution with no specific Judaica department the V & A Museum has made a significant contribution to the history of Anglo-Jewry, and to Jewish art history. Few other museums started collecting Jewish objects as early as the mid-19th century, so a study of the V & A holdings gives an idea of what items of ritual art were being offered for sale in the last century. The V & A collection can also be used to demonstrate the changing attitudes towards Judaica over the last 130 years.
