Here is a plate/ insignia/ thing for the [record book?] of [a, the] Prague Burial Society, featuring the Maharal's grave, designed by Lilien. Now that's classy.
Cause someone made a mistake. He was known during his lifetime as E. M. Lilien, also Ephraim Moses.
A possible guess though is that as according to the Wiki page he also went by the Polish name Maurycy, someone assumes that Moshe was really his first name. Maybe?
I once came across a German book illustrated by him with all sorts of semi-erotic pictures. It seemed to have something to do with Psalms, but I can't be sure. It was sitting in the women's side of a shul in an elementary school in Queens; no idea how it got there, but I should have taken it.
I'd rather see the Golem's. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhy is the title of the Wikipedia page "Ephraim Moses Lilien" while the caption on his photo is "Moshe Ephraim Lilien"?
