Abstract:
The scribe/artist: In the year 1735 the Jewish community of Kittsee, now in eastern Austria, consisted of 155 adults and 111 children. In 1780 363 Jews lived in Kittsee. Hayyim began his career as a teacher there in 1725, but there are no manuscripts known which were done by him before 1741. Today, approximately 20 manuscripts by [the] artist, including those that are unsigned but may be ascribed to him, are known to exist. With one exception (a Passover Haggadah finished in Vienna in 1748 which is now in private hands), these manuscripts were all produced in Kittsee. He died in Kittsee in 1784, where his tombstone is still preserved on the Jewish cemetery.
