    Danish-Jewish co-existence has now officially existed for over 300 years. Having since childhood been fascinated by the Torah scroll’s wealth of velvet and shining silver and the chinking of tiny bells when on the Festival of Rejoicing in the Torah the scrolls are borne round the synagogue by men dressed in black, I could only as an adult wonder that no one had written about these things. My surprise was no less when during the registration of items commenced in connection with an exhibition celebrating the Jewish Community’s 300th anniversary, it emerged that some of the foreign-looking silver objects had in fact been made by Copenhagen masters. So there was no need of any prolonged consideration when on behalf of The Society for the Publication of Danish Cultural Monuments (Selskabet til Udgivelse af Danske Mindesmærker) Dr. Erik Fischer proposed to me that I should write a book on Danish Jewish art. However, any attempt to describe this almost unresearched area of Danish art history could only be made by involving art historians who had worked with related subjects in the history of Danish art. I owe a special debt of gratitude to the individual writers. Not only for their contributions, which have given the book an art-historical breadth, but also for their enthusiasm and determination.
