EDITORS COMMENTS
This image features a detail from the Jewish Cervera Bible, a rare and intriguing work of Mozarabic art dating back to approximately 1299. The image, found on Folio 443 of the treatise "Sefer Mikhlol" by David Qimhi, depicts an unusual collection of fish. Each fish is depicted with the heads of humans, birds, and wildcats, creating a striking and fantastical scene. David Qimhi, also known as Radak, was a prominent 13th-century Jewish scholar and commentator, born in Spain around 1160. His seminal work, "Sefer Mikhlol," is a comprehensive grammatical treatise that aimed to clarify the Hebrew language and its usage. The Cervera Bible, which contains this treatise, is named after the Spanish town of Cervera where it was discovered in the late 19th century. The image of the fish with human, bird, and wildcat heads is a fascinating example of the unique artistic style of Mozarabic art, which emerged in the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages. This style blended Jewish, Christian, and Islamic influences, resulting in a rich visual tapestry that reflects the complex cultural history of the region. The text surrounding the image is written in Hebrew, further emphasizing the Jewish origin of the manuscript. The National Library in Lisbon, Portugal, is currently the proud custodian of this precious artifact, preserving it for future generations to study and appreciate.
