Detail of the book held open by the figure in jewish-looking attire in the "panel of the relic" (sixth panel) of the st. Vincent panels attributed to nuno gonçalves (c. 1465-70). The script is often assumed to be or meant to look like hebrew. Some historians speculate it might be a passage from the old testament (specific conjectures suggest isaiah 66: 15-19), but most historians consider it illegible, and probably intended to be illegible. Date: circa 1465-70.
