Centennial Moments
Three Faiths Exhibit
Three Faiths is an exhibit at The New York Public Library, which includes 200 rare and precious works created over the past 1,500 years. Among them, great works of the miniaturist's art and of calligraphy, drawn from all three great Abrahamic faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Manuscript materials are accompanied by some of the most significant printed works of the past 550 years. The scrolls, codices, illuminated manuscripts, and printed volumes are complemented selectively by important bindings, early photographs, prints, maps, and liturgical or ritual objects dating from the fifth century of the Common Era (CE) to the present. Support for the exhibit, which will run through February 2011, has been provided by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and Carnegie Corporation.
