Scope and Contents
Golden provides documentation on how her binding and printing provides a rough simulation for the 12th century binding and illuminations that might have been used for such a work. The eight linocuts have been inserted into the sleeve pages. Golden printed the text from a book edited by Isadore Twersky, "A Maimonides Reader." The booklet is closed by a clasp incorporating a copper hand and a bone. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
