Produced in the workshop of the Master of the Duke of Bedford in Paris between 1420 and 1425, this beautiful manuscript represents a collection of prayers for private devotional use. Somewhat surprisingly, the only exact chronological reference which reflects travels of this unique Christian manuscript is a lengthy Hebrew inscription left on one of its folios in 1683, the time when this manuscript was in the possession of the Polish King John (Jan) III Sobieski. A logical question - why a Jew was allowed to leave a message on a most precious Christian manuscript - has been troubling the minds of scholars in the last few decades. This article is an attempt to solve the mystery of this Hebrew inscription and, furthermore, cast a light on the relations between Polish kings and their Jewish physicians. Special attention is dedicated to the role of Karaite (i.e. non-Talmudic) physicians and their attitude to Christianity in seventeenth-century Poland. The article contributes to our understanding of the position of the Jewish community in early modern Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and development of Jewish-Christian dialogue in Eastern Europe in general. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of East European Jewish Affairs is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
