Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A scene in the Kaufmann Haggadah (fol. 59v), where a nimbed young man emerges from the burning bush. Scholars have different theories about the motive. Some think it is God's angel - the form in which God appears to humans. Others think it is a Christian artist who has painted the angel as Christ. Scripture says of him later on that the angel is the saviour from all evil and harm (Gen 48:16). 104 According to the Jewish legend Moses heard God's voice but it was Gabriel who appeared to him. 105 On account of all this it may have seemed quite plausible to a Christian illuminator to represent the angel as Christ. For the interpretation of the figure it would be essential to know whether it is winged, but this question cannot be decided unanimously because of the bad condition of the illustration. At the same time it may be noted that the youth is bearded, and angels are only rarely depicted in this way, while Christ in Christian art is regularly represented as a bearded young man.
