[Originally illuminated at the workshops of Bonifacio Bembo and Cristoforo De Predis, 15th century Northern Italy]. The Rothschild Miscellany. London: Linda and Michael Falter, Facsimile Editions, London ; Jerusalem: Israel Museum, 1989. Gift of Ruth and Raymond Brenner and the Brenner Family Fund for Jewish Studies in honor of Gregory Brenner, W', 1999; Adam Brenner, W', 2001; Jason Brenner, W', 2005.

One of the most lavishly illuminated and lavishly decorated examples of renaissance Jewish manuscript production, this facsimile edition reproduces in precise detail every aspect of the original, including the scribal method of ruling known as "pricking", the uneven cut of the pages, stains and holes found on the original parchment, and the texture of the gold leaf.
