Joel ben Simeon (Hebrew: יואל בן שמעון, c. 1420 – 1495), called Feibush Ashkenazi[1] (Hebrew: וייבש אשכנזי)[2] was a Jewish scribe and illuminator,[1] who worked primarily in Northern Italy and Germany during the Renaissance.[3] He is best noted for his creation and illumination of the Washington Haggadah.[3][4]
Early life[edit]
Joel was born in Cologne around 1420.[3] After the expulsion of Jews from the city in 1424, his family moved to Bonn which expelled its Jews only 20 years later.[3]
