The Jewish Heritage in Portugal Postage Stamp

Star of David from the Bible of Cervera

One of the Portuguese stamps of the series "the Jewish heritage in Portugal", issued on May 20, 2004, shows the Star of David from the Bible of Cervera, which is kept in the national Library of Lisbon. This Bible was written in 1300 and was decorated by Joseph ha-Tsarfati, a French Jew from Castille.
