In this handout photo released by Sotheby's, an illumination from the 18th century Viennese miniature manuscript 'Grace After Meals and Other Benedictions,' is shown, part of the Valmadonna Library Trust collection at Sotheby's in New York, Monday, Feb. 9, 2009. According to Sotheby's, the Valmadonna Trust is the finest private collection of Hebrew books and manuscripts in the world. Amassed over the past century, the group of 11,000 works is significant as a primary source on both world and literary history and Jewish life and culture. The auction house is seeking a buyer for what's considered the greatest collection of Judaica in private hands.
