Between Judaism and Christianity: Art Historical Essays in Honor of Elisheva (Elisabeth) Revel-NeherKatrin Kogman-Appel, Mati Meyer The nineteen essays assembled in this Festschrift represent the multiplicity of interests evident in Elisabeth (Elisheva) Revel-Neher's work.

Contributors are Rivka Ben-Sasson, Walter Cahn, Evelyn Cohen, Andreina Contessa, Eva Frojmovic, Lihi Habas, Dalia-Ruth Halperin, Colum Hourihane, Emma Maayan-Fanar, Herbert L.
