Ketubah (כתובה), Modena, 12. Cheschwan 5483 (23 October 1722)
Description
In this 1722 marriage contract between Yishai (Jesse) Hay, son of
R. Samuel Pesach, and Berakha Tova, daughter of R. Isaiah Modena,
the artist persuasively links decorative elements of Italian art
with Jewish symbols and motifs. The decoration contains countless
biblical quotations in micrographic script with reference to
wedding and marriage ideals.
