Summary

"This publication focuses on the Veneto Siddur-Sefer Minhagim, a Hebrew manuscript newly attributed to the artist-scribe Joel ben Simeon, made for a Jewish immigrant family from Germany probably living in Treviso. Joel ben Simeon (active c. 1440s - c. 1490) is one of the most famous figures in late medieval Hebrew manuscript production. Born in Germany, he spent most of his career in northern Italy as an itinerant craftsman. Previously unrecorded in the extensive literature on Joel ben Simeon, the present manuscript includes the earliest known copy of this version of the Sefer Minhagim, written in 1449/1450, and more than 500 pen and ink drawings added by Joel around 1470, thus significantly increasing the artist's corpus"--Cover
