Kaufmann Haggdah

Created in Barcelona, a center of Spanish culture and Judaism: one of the most impressive Hebrew manuscripts of all time and simultaneously an insight into Jewish life in medieval Spain

One of the most important and beautiful manuscripts in Spain: The magnificent Hebrew Bible of Moses Ibn Zaraba, exuberantly illuminated with magnificent carpet pages, wonderful borders and countless details in gold and silver

A glimpse of Jewish culture and at the same time of the creation of a manuscript: a special Haggadah with 100 luminous miniatures adorned with gold and silver

One of the most valuable Haggadot in the history of Hebrew book illumination: important religious and surprising secular texts in an exuberantly illuminated Renaissance manuscript from northern Italy

Expressive faces, articulating hands, and an ever-warm gaze even during the harshest events in the Book of Exodus: one of the most magnificent surviving Haggadot with full-page miniatures, initials, floral motifs, and fine drolleries

Tales of the Exodus from Egypt and instructions for the Seder on the eve of Passover: one of the earliest Spanish Haggadot, decorated with 56 miniatures on a shimmering gold leaf background
