The Small Book of Commandments (Sefer Mitzvot Katan) by Isaac ben Joseph of Corbeil was among the most popular Jewish legal texts in Medieval Ashkenaz. Many of the preserved manuscripts captivate us to this day with the richness of their design. Marginal drawings, spontaneous scribbles, the page layout, and calligraphy testify to the author's active creative process in a genre located between purely literary and purely painterly culture.
