The purported portrait of Maimonides from which all modern portraits are derived, is believed to have been created around 1744, some 500 years after Maimonides' death. It first appeared in volume 2 of Thesaurus antiquitatum sacrarum …(Thesaurus of sacred antiquities in which are illustrated the customs, laws, institutions, sacred and civil rites of the ancient Hebrews), a 34-volume Latin anthology on Judaism by Blasio Ugolini (b. ca. 1700), published in Venice by the house of Giovanni Giacomo Hertz from 1744 to 1769.
