“GO FORTH AND LEARN”
THE ARTIST JOEL BEN SIMEON AND A NEWLY DISCOVERED HEBREW MANUSCRIPT
22 October 2020, 1-2 ET

Born in Germany, where he trained as an artist and scribe, Joel ben Simeon spent most of his itinerant career in the book arts in northern Italy. The discovery of a new manuscript with more than 300 drawings by his hand prompts a reassessment of his career at a time of great religious uncertainty, economic opportunity, and cultural exchange
