The Golden Reign of Spain©
is an ambitious, unique Biblical work that teams poetry of many
prominent Spanish Jews (1100 to 1300 C.E.) with images taken at
the National Museum in Madrid and The Barcelona Rare Books Library.
Orah Buck’s credentials as a professional
photographer gained her access to photograph pages from rare sacred
books. These images were then digitally enhanced to bring out colour
and texture. Gold leaf adorns several selected images.
The Golden Reign of Spain is on permanent exhibition
at Chabad Israel Community Centre, Thornhill, Ontario.
