Decorated with micrography, the Jewish scribal art typical of Bible manuscripts, this maḥzor, which includes a rich full-page panel micrography cycle, is unique. Along with the codicological and paleographical analysis, essential for understanding the scribe’s thought and working processes, the author’s meticulous reading of the micrography text reveals the scribe’s textual editing and manipulations. Decoding his writing flow and sequences revealed a close association between the penned text and the images formed, which reflect a Jewish theosophical-theurgical cycle. Evidence of the scribe’s association with the renowned Bassa atelier enhances our knowledge of the cultural, economic, and ethnic realities of the time.The Medieval and Early Modern Iberian World51.Jewish illumination of books and manuscriptsCalligraphy, HebrewWriting, MinusculeEarly works to 1800Illumination of books and manuscriptsSpainElectronic books.Jewish illumination of books and manuscripts.Calligraphy, Hebrew.Writing, MinusculeIllumination of books and manuscripts745.6/74924Halperin Dalia-Ruth1961-1067676NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910511477503321Illuminating in micrography2551718UNINA
