==The Sefer Evronot ( Jerusalem, National Library, ms. Heb 2380)==

This manuscript is a compilation of different texts about the Jewish calendar(the calculation of the leap years, the setting of the holidays, etc). It was produced in Halberstadt, Germany in the eighteenth century.It was written in Ashkenazi cursive script, and decorated with watercolor and gouache drawings. The scribe and the painter was the one and the same person,Pinkas ben Abraham Halevi (SeGaL).

On most of the pages there are lovely drawings in watercolor and gouache; some are illustrations to the text and some do not have any obvious connection to the text. Many drawings are scenes taken from Jewish tradition and from Christian culture, from the life of European nobility and peasants - such as the agricultural tasks of each month, modeled on peasant calendars. In the manuscript there are many symbolic drawings - angels in the shape of putti and women, ornamented initial words, zoomorphic characters, floral decorations, animals and birds.

 ===Pigs in the Manuscript===
 Pigs appear in the manuscript twice as wild boars pursued by a hunter and his dogs. The first hunting scene with a pig on folio 61r (see page 62 in the [http://jnul.huji.ac.il/dl/mss/heb2380/djvu/index.djvu?djvuopts&thumbnails=yes&zoom=page digitalized version])is decorated a text on the prophetic readings, ''haftarot''.
 On f.139v (see page 141 in the [http://jnul.huji.ac.il/dl/mss/heb2380/djvu/index.djvu?djvuopts&thumbnails=yes&zoom=page digitalized version], the hunting scene is to illustrate the characteristic activity of the month May.
