[...]the book goes beyond its pages, offering a companion website, https://treeofknowledgeart.com, where the author has collated hundreds of additional iconographic depictions of the Tree of Knowledge, enriching the reader's exploration further. The book's first chapter meticulously dissects the earliest known specimens of Sifrei Torah ("Torah scrolls"), focusing on the materials on which scrolls were written (papyrus vs. parchment), the scripts in which the scrolls were written (ktav ashuri vs. ktav ivri), the scrolls' physical dimensions, and the scribal layout of ancient scrolls that are still extant. In this chapter, Stern adeptly traces the evolution of the Hebrew Bibles (including those from the Dead Sea Scrolls) and sheds light on the number of "books" contained in each physical scroll. [...]he brings to the fore various scribal practices, drawing comparisons between those who penned the Dead Sea Scrolls and those who adhere to traditional rabbinic specifications. The final chapters of this book cover the evolution of printed Jewish Bibles, tracing their history from the mid-1400s to the present day. The book is adorned with many beautiful photographs of the manuscripts (be they scrolls or codices) discussed, as well as examples of the sorts of items and features discussed in the book.
