The Christian Topography, a sixth-century Byzantine Christian work, presents such a cosmology. Its theory is based on the “pattern” revealed to Moses on Mount Sinai when he was told to build the Tabernacle and its implements “after their pattern, which is being shown thee on the Mount.” (Exod. 25: 40). The book demonstrates, through texts and images, the motifs that link the Tabernacle and Creation. It traces the long chain of transmission that connects the Jewish and Christian traditions from Syria and ancient Israel to France and Spain from the first through the fourteenth century, revealing new models  of interaction between Judaism and Christianity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.\tJewish and Christian Reciprocal Influences 2.\tThe Blueprint of Creation in the Bible and Its Allegorical Interpretations  3.\tCreation in Christian Works 4.\tCreation as Interpreted in Jewish Art 5.\tVisualizing Creation in a Fourteenth-Century Jewish Manuscript  6.\tThe Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant 7.\tThe Temple: History and Ideology  8.\tThe Synagogue as a Minor Temple  9.\tSchematic Models: Forms of Visual Interpretation 10.\tImaging of the Tabernacle  11.\tThe Art of Memory: The Sanctuary Its Sacrifices, and Its Cosmic Import 12.\tChristian Supersession of Jewish Ideas","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210632126807,"sku":"9789004233249","price":159.73,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/images-of-cosmology-in-jewish-and-byzantine-art-god-s-blueprint-of-creation-9789004233249","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
