Happy Hanukkah from GWU Special Collections! Our new acquisition, this illuminated manuscript leaf from one of the books of the Maccabees taken from a 13th-century French bible, arrived just in time.
Preserved in the Catholic tradition but not included in the Hebrew Bible, the books of the Maccabees offer the earliest references to the story of Hanukkah and the rededication of the Temple of Jerusalem, standing as the main contemporary sources for the period.
From the I. Edward Kiev Judaica Collection.
