TWO VOLUME SET. These two volumes, while not originally printed as a set, complete each other in their description of the Sarajevo Haggadah, a 14th-century illuminated manuscript which is considered by many to be the single most beautiful and elaborate manuscript of the Sephardic tradition, and one of the most prized articles of Jewish art in general. The first volume contains a full facsimile edition of the manuscript, complete with the numerous illustrations and decorations for which it is famous. The second volume, a small booklet written in English, serves as an appendix for the English-speaking reader and contains a short introduction to the text, page-by-page translation of the Hebrew text and a short explanation for each illustration. [FACSIMILE]: 230x175mm. 104 facsimile pages. Brown leather Hardcover with dust-jacket laid in marbled board slipcase. Embossed lettering on front cover and spine. Slipcase edges slightly worn/bumped. Slipcase spine wrinkled. Jacket edges slightly wrinkled. Spine edges slightly bumped. [APPENDIX]: 230x165mm. 45 pages. Illustrated Softcover. Rear cover bottom corner creased. Spine rubbed. [SUMMARY]: Both volumes, containing a facsimile and an English appendix to the celebrated Sarajevo Haggadah, are in very good condition.
