She edited the literary and artistic periodicals <em>Rimon<\/em> and <em>Milgroim<\/em>, together with her husband Mark. The doyenne of historians of Jewish art, she was a pioneer in the field when she published in 1913 her first article on the ancient synagogue in Lutsk. Her wide interests drove her to study and publish about Hebrew illuminated manuscripts, synagogue architecture, Jewish and general iconography. Her major contribution to Jewish iconography was a courageous attempt to find a single theme to which all the paintings in the third century Synagogue at Dura Europos would adhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.irsa.com.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/From_dura-794x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2675\" width=\"418\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.irsa.com.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/From_dura-794x1024.jpg 794w, https:\/\/www.irsa.com.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/From_dura-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/www.irsa.com.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/From_dura-116x150.jpg 116w, https:\/\/www.irsa.com.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/From_dura-768x991.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.irsa.com.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/From_dura.jpg 1003w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 418px) 100vw, 418px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4>CONTENTS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Preface<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachel Wischnitzer, Doyenne of Historians of Jewish Art, by Bezalel Narkiss<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> The Ancient Synagogue in Lutsk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> Vor der Holbeinbibel zur Amsterdamer Haggadah<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2A.
