About This Book

This publication acts as an accompanying volume to Moriah's 2010 illuminated book, Beresheet = The book of Genesis, describing it in great detail. (Therefore, it was probably produced by the same group of people responsible for that vol.) There are "thumbnail" images of each p. of his Genesis (too small to be read, but used to show the layout of text and images), followed by larger images of the artwork found on each page, accompanied by English-language labels for the images derived from the story from Genesis. There is also useful introductory matter and commentary in English, with an "Author's statement", a description of the various illumination styles of Genesis over time, as well as a good background on Genesis itself.
