- Summary:
- The manuscript Illuminated Bible preserved by the Jewish Community of Venice is far more than a book. In its first pages one can find an interpretative debate between different Jewish writing traditions. A comparison that is literal but also figurative, with the use of colors, shapes, imaginative and realistic images. A small object, rescued from the book-burnings decreed during the Countereformation, from iconoclastic censorship, from the robberies and from the massacres of the twentieth century. A book that is the product of the encounter between the Jewish civilization, attentive to the written word, and the Italian culture producing wonderful artistic forms. An entire universe is restored to us by a mysterious time machine. Today we take up the task of fortifying this time machine and its restoration, in order to ensure that the transmission chain does not cease with us, but rather that it is continued by generations to come.
