Haggadah
Haggadah (plural: Haggadot) (Hebrew: ‘story, parable’). A set of Jewish texts, including the Exodus narrative, to be ritually recited as part of the celebrations of Passover; the term also refers to a book containing these texts, the only Hebrew book with a long and consistent tradition of illustration. Most of the illustrated manuscript Haggadot date from the 14th and 15th centuries, a famous example being the Sarajevo Haggadah (National Mus. Sarajevo), produced in Spain in the 14th century. Illustrated printed texts of the Haggadah were produced from 1516; editions published in Prague (1526), Mantua (1560, 1568), Venice (1609), and Amsterdam (1695) are among the most artistically noteworthy. Ben
Shahn is among the artists who have illustrated more modern editions.
