Review of Ancient Manuscript Lisbon Hebrew Bible

The Lisbon Bible was scribed by Samuel ben Samuel Ibn Musa in 1482. As I perused through the pages of this old bible the first thing that caught my eye was the sharp contrast of brilliant colors that adorned every page. The boarder of intricate flowers and birds are contrasted with inlays of gold text around the main text. Repetition is clearly seen in the text style and flower boarders from page to page. The text is aligned in two columns down each page giving way to occasional off set headings. I saw that proximity is apparent in the text to group what appears to be chapters. Larger or smaller spaces are around different heading making me think this ends and begins a different chapter or topic. I really enjoyed looking at this beautiful old manuscript. I was amazed how artful the pages were leading me to realize that design plays a much larger role in conveying information than we can imagine.
