Description

This is a 17th century printed text owned by the Hebrew Union College. The title translates to, "The order of the telling of Passover" and is the fourth copy owned by the college. The binding is used frequently in the reading room as a teaching tool for visiting groups of scholars because the copy contains numerous hand colored etchings throughout the text. It is the only copy the college owns that contains illumination. Haggadah scripts are generally dirty, much like this one, because they are historically used to tell stories at the dinner table.
