Publisher Synopsis
"The book breaks new ground in its close examination of the seven earliest and most significant illuminated Sephardic Haggadot as representatives of a new phenomenon - the embellishment of Haggadot with extensive cycles of Biblical imagery. Recognizing the diversity of relationships among these works, it grounds the emergence and content of their imagery within the unique cultural-intellectual context of late medieval Iberian Jewry." - Pamela A. Patton, Southern Methodist University" Read more...
