EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Book of Prayer, Bambeg" from 1773. Created by an anonymous French artist in the 18th century, this vellum manuscript measures 12.7x8.8 cm and is currently housed at the Jüdisches Museum der Schweiz in Basel. The image captures a momentous page within the book, featuring a group of devout Jewish men engrossed in prayer. The delicate script of Hebrew text beautifully adorns the page, guiding their spiritual journey. As they sit together for this sacred ritual, their devotion is palpable. What makes this particular passage intriguing is its reference to the New Moon day – "A la fin priAre pour la neo (jour de la Nouvelle Lune)". This lunar celebration holds great significance in Jewish tradition and symbolizes renewal and new beginnings. Photographed by Leonard de Selva with meticulous attention to detail, every stroke and curve on this ancient document comes alive through his lens. The rich history embedded within each word invites us into a world where faith intertwines with daily life. This remarkable piece not only serves as a testament to religious devotion but also offers insights into cultural practices surrounding food and drink during prayer gatherings. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith that transcends time and connects generations across centuries.
