The Sephardic Meshal ha-kadmoni as an Ashkenazic German Manuscript (MS. Heb. 107, Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek)
View through CrossRef
This chapter focuses on the Hebrew text of the 13th-century Sephardic fable book Meshal ha-kadmoni, which is known from five extant Ashkenazic illuminated manuscripts and one incunabulum. The fable book is written in the form of a maqama and is comprised of dialogs between its protagonists, who are alternately humans and animals. The chapter mentions that the Munich copy of Meshal ha-kadmoni has the most complete text and is considered to have textually guided later copies of the book. From a brief stylistic analysis of the drawings, Robert Suckale concluded that the artist of Munich came from the workshop of the master Martinus Opifex. The chapter points out that the illustrations in the manuscripts of Meshal ha-kadmoni borrowed from Buch der Natur by Konrad von Megenburg.
