Botehlo writes of this book being "filled with etchings of heavy lined and voluptuous shapes with textures and shade all done in black. The poetry evoked for me the verdancy of rogue plants that spring up between the cracks of concrete. It spoke of the appeal of being a snake allusions to original sin. I wanted the green onlays that have been dyed and embossed to be pillowed the stone inviting touch. I intended to create something that invites a sensory exploration." And here she has succeeded with astonishing grace creating a design that draws and keeps the attention. Wonderfully conceived and executed with exceptional skill. Botelho is among a select group of extraordinary design binders who are graduates from the American Academy of Bookbinding Fine Binding program. Editions Wequetequock Cove unknown

Octavo. viii 315 1 558 392pp. Bound in modern brown half-cloth over decorative paper-covered boards with gilt lettering and decorative ruling on spine. Light brown endpapers. The author Isaac Aboab lived in Toledo at the end of the 14th century. His Hebrew work Menorath HaMe'or "The Candelabrum of Light" is a classic ethical work. It became immensely popular among the Jews in the Middle Ages with more than seventy editions printed. Originally written in Hebrew it was translated into Spanish Ladino Yiddish and German with the 1st edition printed in Constantinople in 1514. "Developing the image of the seven-branched candlestick cf. Num. 4:9 Isaac divides his work into seven nerot "lamps". These in turn are subdivided into main divisions parts and chapters. Using the three parts of Psalms 34:15 as general headings he assigns the seven lamps to them in the following manner: a "Depart from evil" 1 guard against envy lust ambition; 2 be wary of sins attendant upon speech. b "Do good" 3 observance of mitzvot such as circumcision rearing of children prayer festivals honoring parents founding a family charity justice; 4 study of Torah; 5 repentance. c "Seek peace and pursue it" 6 peace and love for fellowman; and 7 humility. Into this rather loose framework lsaac fitted a wealth of aggadic material culled from the Talmud and the vast midrashic literature. His use of passages from aggadic works now lost and the variants in the talmudic and midrashic texts he cites make the Menorat ha-Ma'or of great importance for establishing the text of the Talmud used in the Spanish-North African academies as distinct from that of the Franco-German school. Isaac is selective in using esoteric texts and he fights shy of statements that may provoke doubt and heresy." -see:encyclopedia dot com. The translation by R. J.
