[Hebrew] Jesus = Sirach. N.10
E. Nunzer del: et sc:
[n.d., c.1730.]
Engraving, sheet c. 355 x 230mm. Some staining outside image, extreme upper left corner of image missing.
An image of Ben Sira, the author of the deuterocanonical book Sirach. The evidence seems to show that his name was Yeshua, son of Shimon, son of Eleazar ben Sira. In the Greek text, the author is called 'Jesus the son of Sirach of Jerusalem.' 'Jesus' is the Anglicized form of the Greek name ??s???. The only fact known with certainty, drawn from the text itself, is that Ben Sira was a scholar, and a scribe thoroughly versed in the Law, and especially in the 'Books of Wisdom.' He may have authored the 'The Wisdom of Jesus son of Sirach' (or merely 'Sirach') in Alexandria, Egypt c.180–175 BC, where he is thought to have established a school. The book, originally written in Hebrew, is included in the Septuagint and is accepted as part of the biblical canon by Catholics and Eastern Orthodox, but not by most Protestants, and is listed in Article VI of the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England. Although it was not accepted into the Tanakh, the Jewish biblical canon, The Sirach is occasionally quoted in the Talmud and works of rabbinic literature. From an encyclopedia or religious text published in Nuremberg in Germany, where the engraver worked.

An elderly man, holding his umbrella in front of him to form a sail, cannonades into another skater, who falls, the apex of the umbrella entering his mouth, while his foot strikes the stomach of the aggressor. The ice cracks beneath them. The latter wears wrinkled ankle-boots. In the background, a man falls forward, his umbrella and hat torn from him by a gust, whose strength is indicated by a wind-swept. [&] Two skaters strike attitudes in the foreground. One, with hands on hips, describes a curve with one foot, the other foot being held out stiffly. He looks aggressively towards the other, a younger man who bends his knees, arms extended, and grins at his rival.

Both hold sticks. In the background, a pair of men with folded arms skate back to back in doing a figure of eight; a third skates forward fast with hands on hips. The scene is a lake in a snow-covered landscape. [&] A man who is falling through the ice clutches desperately at the leg of a passing skater so as to drag him towards the hole he has made.

In the background three other skaters have fallen, and lie or sit, legs in the air.
