HAGGADAH.
[HAGGADAH] Seder Haggadah Shel Pesah Im Targum Ashkenazi.
The Haggadah is a Jewish text that sets forth the order of the Passover Seder. According to Jewish practice, reading the Haggadah at the Seder table is a fulfillment of the mitzvah to each Jew to tell their children the story from the Book of Exodus about God bringing the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt with a strong hand and an outstretched arm.

Small 4to. Period style full green morocco with gilt to boards and spine. A handsome illustrated Haggadah, with 24 charming woodcuts, including a vignette title page depicting Moses at the Burning Bush, an exceptional copy. Most unusual as all translations and commentaries are printed in Yiddish. Hebrew text. One of the more attractive editions published in the nineteenth century. Texturally, this is a reprint of Joel Brill's German translation in Hebrew characters which first appeared in 1785, printed at the Basel press of Wilhelm Haas, and corrected by Solomon Coschelsberg. The 24 woodcuts are taken from Freidrich Battier's illustrations to a German Bible published in Basel in 1710 by Johann Brandmuller, Jr. The woodcut of Moses at the Burning Bush on the title page, within a decorative woodcut border, was based on the frontispiece of the Amsterdam Haggadah of 1712. A few stains, characteristic of ceremonial use, but a beautiful copy. SCARCE.
