EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating frontispiece of Book Twelve, "The Book of Donations and Acquisitions" from the Mishneh Torah by Maimonides, transports us to a momentous scene in biblical history. Crafted on vellum by an anonymous French artist in 1295-96, this exquisite miniature captures Moses delivering the Tablets of the Law to the people of Israel. Intriguingly, the illustration depicts a fascinating legend associated with this biblical event. It portrays Mount Sinai uprooted and inverted like an overturned basket above the Israelites. This extraordinary act was believed to compel them into accepting the Law's weighty obligations willingly. Within an opening in the mountain, heads of awe-struck Israelites can be seen as they witness Moses displaying these sacred tablets. Considered a masterpiece of medieval Hebrew art due to its intricate decorations and illustrations, this manuscript is housed within Budapest's Library of Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Known as Codex Maimuni Ms Kaufmann A 77 fol. IV. 32, it showcases not only Maimonides' comprehensive code of Jewish religious law but also highlights Nathan bar Simeon ha-Levi's skilled calligraphy. Interestingly, while Nathan bar Simeon ha-Levi penned this remarkable work, it is believed that a Christian artist was responsible for creating these illuminating miniatures. The fusion between different artistic traditions adds another layer of intrigue to this already mesmerizing piece. This photograph print allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and artistic brilliance captured within this frontispiece—a testament to human creativity transcending religious boundaries throughout history.
