Symbols and Forms in Jewish Art

By Rachel Wischnitzer-bernstein

This is an English translation of a classic study on the iconography of Jewish art by Rachel Wischnitzer-Bernstein (1885-1989), originally published in Berlin in 1935 as Symbole und Gestalten der judischen Kunst. The outbreak of the Second World War prevented the book from spreading, and its uncirculated print-run was almost entirely destroyed by the Nazis. The few surviving copies of the book that circulated among specialists, gained this highly innovative work on Jewish iconography a position of a classic study. The present English edition will make the legendary book by Rachel Wischnitzer-Bernstein available to wider audiences of international readers for the first time.
