Passover Haggadah with commentaries (Hijman Binger Haggadah)
Description
The Hijman Binger Haggadah is a typical example of Hebrew
manuscript decoration in Central and Northern Europe at the end of
the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries. Picture cycles
accompany the written content. The illustrations show similarities
to later Haggadot by Joseph ben David of Leipnik, such as the
Haggadah from 1739 (Braginsky Collection B317) and suggest that
a Haggadah by this artist served as Hijman Binger’s model.
Another rare feature of this manuscript is a map of the Holy Land,
which was added at the very end (f. 52).
