EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: The Prague Haggadah: A 16th-Century Masterpiece of Jewish Art and Scholarship The Prague Haggadah, a magnificent 16th-century illuminated manuscript, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Jewish community in Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic. Created in Prague in 1526, this exquisite codex is currently housed at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. The Prague Haggadah is a rare example of a Jewish text that combines both letterpress and woodcut techniques. The text is written in Hebrew, and the pages are adorned with intricate illustrations, each one a work of art in itself. The illustrations depict various scenes from the Passover Seder, the Jewish ritual feast that commemorates the Exodus from Egypt. The Prague Haggadah is a significant historical artifact, as it provides valuable insights into the Jewish community in Bohemia during the early modern period. It is believed that the manuscript was produced for the use of the Prague Jewish community, and it reflects the unique blend of Ashkenazi and Sephardic influences that characterized Jewish life in the region. The manuscript was acquired by the Israel Museum in 1981, thanks to the generosity of John D. Herring and his family from New York. The acquisition marked a major milestone in the museum's collection of Jewish art and manuscripts. Today, the Prague Haggadah is a source of inspiration and pride for the Jewish community and scholars around the world. The Prague Haggadah is a masterpiece of Jewish art and scholarship that transcends the boundaries of time and space. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Jewish people and the enduring power of the written word to inspire and connect generations. The Israel Museum in Jerusalem is privileged to preserve this precious artifact for future generations to study, appreciate, and be inspired by.
