The famous Rothschild Haggadah is considered to be one of the most precious Haggadahs in the history of Hebrew illumination.
The Haggadah is stored in Jerusalem’s Israel Museum as a part of the grandiose Rothschild Miscellany. The manuscript was a commission of Moses ben Yekutiel Hakohen from the year 1479 and was made in Northern Italy. Thus it presents the wonderful illustrations of the Passover in the exuberant style of the Italian Renaissance. Alongside the classic prayers and texts for Passover, the Rothschild Haggadah also contains Maimonides’ Hilchot Chamety Umatza, the text of the Piyyut, and a text concerning medieval weights and measures.
Lavish Illumination of the highest quality makes the Rothschild Haggadah a masterpiece!
