Kein Einband. Condición: Neu. Die Esther-Rolle von 1746. Originalgetreues Faksimile der Hannover-Rolle. Nummer 0251 von 1.746 Exemplaren. Schriftrolle, 642 x 33,5 cm, in Holzschatulle, 6,4 kg, mit Kommentarband von Falk Wiesemann, 194 Seiten Die 6,5 Meter lange, handgeschriebene Megillah von 1746 in der Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Bibliothek zu Hannover ist ein kostbares Unikat und bildet die Vorlage für dieses Faksimile. Was diese Megillah auszeichnet, sind ihre reich kolorierten Illustrationen und ein deutscher anstelle des sonst üblichen hebräischen Texts. Da in der Synagoge keine Schriftrollen mit dekorativen Elementen benutzt werden, war die ?Hannover-Rolle" eindeutig für den Privatgebrauch bestimmt. Über 200 Jahre blieb ihr Schreiber und Illustrator unbekannt. Doch auf Basis von stilistischen Vergleichen und dem Studium historischer Quellen gelang dem Historiker Falk Wiesemann eine spannende Entdeckung: Schöpfer der Rolle dürfte wohl der jüdische Schriftgelehrte und Künstler Wolf Leib Katz Poppers aus Hildesheim gewesen sein. TASCHENs Faksimile wird mit einem Kommentarband geliefert, in dem Wiesemann die Bedeutung des Buches Esther für das Purim-Fest erklärt und die besondere Stellung der Megillah in der jüdischen Kunst erläutert. Bitte beachten Sie, dass bei dieser Ausgabe zusätzliche Versankosten anfallen können.

An uninhibitedly joyful festival, Purim celebrates the salvation of the Jews in the Persian empire of the 5th century under the rule of King Xerxes I. The word Purim is derived from the Hebrew "pur," meaning "lot," and refers to the fact that the Persian minister Haman determined by lot the time that all Jews should be destroyed. This circumstance, related in the Hebrew Bibles Book of Esther, is publicly read out from the megillah in the synagogue at Purim.TASCHENs facsimile of the Esther scroll is a major achievement in publishing history. It is produced from the very fine manuscript scroll held by the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Bibliothek in Hanover, dated 1746 and measuring 6.5 meters long; this particular megillah is stunning not only in terms of its lavish illuminations but also because it contains a contemporary German version of the story of Esther. For many centuries, the creator of the Hanover scroll was unknown. Piecing together information from various sources, and performing his own stylistic analysis of this and other works of art from the period, author Falk Wiesemann recently made an enthralling discovery: the artist of the Hanover scroll was Wolf Leib Katz Poppers, a Jewish scribe and illustrator from Hildesheim.Limited edition of only 1,746 copiesFacsimile scroll in a handcrafted walnut veneer display caseRichly illustrated, continuous text, 6.5 m (over 21 ft) long, unfurls right to left from a leather-bound cylinderCloth-bound and gilt-edged commentary volume by Falk Wiesemann contains an introductory essay, the biblical text of the Book of Esther in four languages and a fold-out sheet with an overview of all the illustrations.
