1989RARE TRILINGUAL HEBREW, ENGLISH & FRENCH LIMITED EDITION of the Torah illustrated by the eminent Jewish artist Abel Pann (born Abba Pfeffermann) (1883-1963), renowned for his paintings and lithographs on Biblical themes.

In 1924 he wrote that he was about to embark on his life-work, the painting and drawing of scenes from the Hebrew Bible. Pann began work on a series of lithographs intended to be published in an enormous illustrated Bible, and although that series was never completed, he is widely admired for the series of pastels inspired by Bible stories that he began in the 1940s. Pann was part of a movement of contemporary Jewish artists interested in Biblical scenes, which included also Ephraim Moses Lilien and Ze'ev Raban, linking the iconography of these works to the 19th century Orientalism. He died in Jerusalem in 1963. The Hebrew text is set in the Vilna font; the English translation is that of The Jewish Family Bible, which appeared in London in 1884; the French translation, prepared by the French Rabbinate, was first published in 1889.
