TREBITSCH, MOSES LOEB BEN WOLF
TREBITSCH, MOSES LOEB BEN WOLF (18th century), Central European Hebrew scribe-illuminator, from Trebic in Moravia. He was one of the pioneer figures in the renaissance of Jewish manuscript art at the beginning of the 18th century. At least a dozen works from his gifted pen are known – most of them Passover Haggadot. His pen drawings, usually set off by wash, are well-composed, small genre paintings. The family scene which he prefixed to the Van Geldern Haggadah (1723) and a companion work now in the Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati (1716–17), are among the outstanding specimens of the new Jewish miniature art of the period.
