Judaica quiz answers

fact is that everyone who has owned the Codex has prospered.

David Sassoon, regarded as a geek by his banking cousins, put together a collection more valuable than their bank, depleted as it was by the Chinese Revolution in 1949. Similarly, the British Rail Pension trustees achieved a profit on this investment unlikely to have been matched by their ventures in stocks and property.

The Codex will go under the hammer in May this year. We do not know who the buyer will be. We can only hope, however, that like the previous owners he/she/they will allow access to the Codex to be given to the general public and particularly to those members of it interested in the bible and the history of Jewish heritage.

REVIEW

BY ALEX FIRST

Geelong-born, Melbourne-based former street artist Rone (birth name Tyrone Wright) has crafted a remarkable time capsule three years in the making.

It is set in the long-abandoned third floor wing of iconic, heritage-listed Flinders Street Station.

Time is a nostalgic love letter to mid 19th century working class life in one of the world’s great cities.

It is an ode to faded yet enduring beauty, capturing the spirit of Melbourne’s industrious past.

It is inspired by an era when European migrants powered the city’s booming manufacturing industries.

There are a dozen multisensory installations in separate rooms, each adorned with Rone’s signature murals that feature his beautiful muse, model Teresa Oman.

They were applied onto rice paper because he was, understandably, not allowed to paint directly onto the interior walls of the building.

When the exhibition finishes, they can then be peeled off without causing any damage. The works contain fine detail of a period of Melbourne’s history long lost to progress.

They combine visualisations with classical music composed by sound designer Nick Batterham.

Using photo references from across the decades, Rone pieced together a vision for each of the rooms.
