Ashkenazi Haggadah: A Hebrew Manuscript of the Mid-15th Century from the Collections of the British Library

by Joel Ben Simeon called Feibusch Ashkenazi and Eleazar Ben Judah of Worms

Ashkenazi Haggadah: A Hebrew Manuscript of the Mid-15th Century from the Collections of the British Library Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

The Haggadah has a unique place among Jewish books: this story of the Exodus is read every year around the table at the Passover Seder, the festive meal that is the one great liturgical ceremony performed in the home. Before the invention of printing, many Haggadot were illuminated by scribes in the European centers of Jewish culture, and The Ashkenazi Haggadah is one of the most beautiful and best preserved. This sumptuous volume includes a magnificently printed facsimile of this remarkable manuscript, exact down to the age-old stains of wine spilled on its pages, and makes a magnificent holiday gift.
