Spanish Haggadah around 1320,
By
This review is from: The Golden Haggadah (Paperback)
The bulk of this book contains color plates of Biblical scenes taking up full pages in the Haggadah - the stories of Genesis and Exodus depicted in marvelous illuminations some of which have a very icon-like quality.There are intrepetive chapters on the artists and their models for the Biblical minatures including material on the Jewish interpretation of the Christian illuminations' symbols. The final chapter discusses the Shepardi community and the patrons who could fund such an effort as the Golden Haggadah. For those interested for ritual purposes as well, see The Illuminated Haggadah - the ritual text with illuminations from the British Library including several also in this book. For anyone interested in religious art or Medieval illuminations, this book is a must have as it explores an aspect of illuminated manuscripts unknown to many of us Gentiles.
