The Book of Ruth with Nora Hamerman
Event Details
Inspired by a 2020 exhibition at the Morgan
Library in New York, this virtual talk will take us
through European manuscripts and paintings
from the 12th century onward, juxtaposed
with an amazing contemporary manuscript
created by New York artist Barbara Wolf in
2015-17 which features the complete Biblical
text of the Book of Ruth written in Hebrew on
one side with colored illustrations, and English
on the other side with black and white
illustrations.
