TWO VOLUME SET. The Sarajevo Haggadah is 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 the 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]: 237x167mm. 105 facsimile pages. Brown leather Hardcover laid in marbled board slipcase. Embossed lettering on front cover. Slipcase edges and spine wrinkled/bumped. Spine upper edge slightly wrinkled. [APPENDIX]: 235x170mm. 44 pages. Illustrated Softcover. Cover corners and rear cover upper edge worn. [SUMMARY]: Both volumes, containing a facsimile and an English appendix to the celebrated Sarajevo Haggadah, are in very good condition.
