It is a complex subject reflecting Christian–Jewish relations which has not yet been sufficiently addressed in Czech art history. Initially fueled by anti-Semitic excesses at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and especially during World War II, the Ahasverian theme continued to appear throughout the twentieth century. At the beginning of the twenty-first century Czech artists are still attracted to this iconographic motif. The article analyzes the development of this motif in Czech visual culture and sheds some light on its appearance in Czech art created by artists of Jewish origin.","PeriodicalId":41476,"journal":{"name":"Ars Judaica-The Bar Ilan Journal of Jewish Art","volume":"15 1","pages":"47 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48891846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Books were Jewish status symbols, the counterparts in Jewish communities of the scepters and swords found in portrayals of powerful Christian laymen. Like the possession scepters and swords, the possession of books was symbolically gendered, and these symbols of power and status were valorized through exclusivity. Interestingly, in Christian high society, books were symbols of high-status women. A gendered analysis of painted books within books reveals both entanglements and subtle asymmetries between the Jewish community and Christian society.","PeriodicalId":41476,"journal":{"name":"Ars Judaica-The Bar Ilan Journal of Jewish Art","volume":"14 1","pages":"47 - 62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43743159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How and why did the messages in the visual depictions differ from those in the narratives of the tales?

That topography, which consists of an outcropping of land from the Judean plain, surrounded by valleys on three sides, offers a symbolic statement of how the spiritual foundations of Jerusalem branch out in three Abrahamic directions and how multiple ramifications, both legalistic and mystical, have flowed in diverse streams and have yielded watersheds of aesthetic and political questions, both historical and contemporary.","PeriodicalId":41476,"journal":{"name":"Ars Judaica-The Bar Ilan Journal of Jewish Art","volume":"14 1","pages":"119 - 126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41790588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

David ben Yehudah he-Ḥasid’s diagram, or one similar to it, influenced R. Isaac Luria or R. Ḥayyim Vital finds support in the fact that his theory of prayer by visualizing names in colors was known and most probably practiced in Safed before Luria’s arrival there as well as after his death. This technique was known to some of the Kabbalists exiled from the Iberian Peninsula1 and it reached Kabbalists at large, as exemplified in the case of R. Shime‘on Lavi in North Africa.2 We learn from a handbook for visualization known there and several discussions about the visualization of colors that this theory also influenced Kabbalists in Jerusalem, including R. Abraham ben Eliezer ha-Levi3 and R. Joseph ibn Ẓayyaḥ,4 as well as in Safed. The importance of manuscript Ms. Sassoon 290, now in the Bibliothèque de Genève, Montana, the Segre Amar collection 145, lies in the fact that it includes several discussions from the school of R. Joseph Ashkenazi and R. David ben Yehudah he-Ḥasid that though probably known in Safed have not been found in other manuscripts, an issue that needs a more thorough analysis, especially insofar as the question of the technique of visualization is concerned.5 In any case, traces of the significant impact of this school are already evident in earlier Byzantine Kabbalah, although I found no references to the technique of the visualization of colors in that region.6","PeriodicalId":41476,"journal":{"name":"Ars Judaica-The Bar Ilan Journal of Jewish Art","volume":"12 1","pages":"39 - 51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45650686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
