After the Bible, the Passover haggadah is the most widely read classic text in the Jewish tradition. More than four thousand editions have been published since the late fifteenth century, but few are as exquisite as the Washington Haggadah, which resides in the Library of Congress. Now, a stunning facsimile edition meticulously reproduced in full color brings this beautiful illuminated manuscript to a new generation. This edition faithfully preserves the original text, with the Hebrew facsimile appearing in the original right-to-left orientation. It will be treasured by anyone interested in Jewish history, medieval illuminated manuscripts, and the history of the haggadah.
