Pigs in medieval Jewish book illumination
Pigs are very rare in illustrations of Jewish manuscripts. It is not surprising considering the fact that pigs are the par excellene non-kosher animals. Those few which do appear in Hebrew manuscripts, appear in different contexts, as a zodiac sign, as architectural decoration, or as the pursued one in a hunting scene.
