EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Scroll of Esther, adorned with intricate miniature illustrations by the renowned scribe Aarib Wolf Herlingen, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich artistic and cultural heritage of 18th-century Europe. The scroll, penned in ink on parchment and embellished with gold leaf, is a masterpiece of calligraphic artistry, meticulously crafted to bring the biblical story of Esther to life. The scroll is housed in a stunning silver case, cut and engraved with delicate filigree and partly gilt, reflecting the opulence and reverence afforded to sacred Jewish texts. Inscribed on the case in Hebrew is the name of its owner, Solomon Halib son of Moses Anib. The Scroll of Esther, one of the five scrolls read during the Jewish holiday of Purim, recounts the story of Esther, a Jewish queen who saved her people from destruction at the hands of the Persian king Haman. The miniature illustrations, each a testament to Herlingen's artistic skill, depict key moments from the narrative, including Esther's selection as queen, her revelation of her Jewish identity, and the triumphant defeat of Haman. This magnificent scroll and its silver case, both originating from Vienna in the 18th century, are now part of the esteemed collection at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, a testament to the enduring significance of Jewish art and history.
