Jerusalem dwells in many dimensions and is a source of inspiration to many. It has inspired the finest poets, beginning with King David, and has given visionaries the explanation they have sought for their very own existence Jerusalem-Names in Praise is a work in homage to Jerusalem and an artistic and intellectual combination of calligraphy, drawing and research. It focuses on the many different names that have been given to Jerusalem by writers over the years, each one rendered in beautiful calligraphy. In all, Boussidan has discovered no less than 366 names for Jerusalem Jerusalem-Names in Praise took over eight years to compile. The silk-prints alone took one year and a half. To ensure quality printing, the paper was hand-made especially for this book according to the artist's formula. Each sheet bears a watermark of the book's emblem - a representation of the City of David, City of the Dove and Navel of the World. All the texts are in English and in Hebrew. A special Committee, headed by Malcolm Gee and Kenneth Cooper, former Chief Executive of the British Library, was founded in England to help materialize the Livre d'Artiste "Jerusalem – Names in Praise". The limited edition is claimed to be of 126 copies, which signifies seven times "Life" in gimatria. In fact there are only 110 copies. Ya'akov Boussidan was actively involved with the printing – he guided the excellent printing team daily, and has prepared the colours and colour separations. Some of the images contain forty colours. Each page has been checked and approved by him. The book is divided into three sections. The first section consists of the artist's preface and articles by Prof. J. Klein, "Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem - the Origin and Meaning of the Name Jerusalem" and by Prof. Dov Noy, "Jerusalem - City of Spirit". Mollie Wilson-Milesi provided the English translation to the book. The second section contains the 366 names of Jerusalem designed in calligraphy by the artist. The third section includes a key to the names and a colophon. The silk screen printing was produced in Advanced Graphics London under the directorship of Robert Saich. The binding was executed by hand by Barry Brignell, Bookbinder, Cambridge, UK, in buckram cloth with a leather spine. The title is embossed in gold lettering. The book is presented in a case bound in buckram cloth. The acid free, 250g paper was prepared by Jim Patterson, Two Rivers Paper Mill, Somerset, UK.
