Hagadah shel Pesach. With commentary by Isaac Abrabanel and "Bi'urim" (synopses of commentaries of Ma'aseh Hashem, Mateh Aharon and Chevel B'nei Yehudah)

Printer's Personal Copy of the Celebrated Second Amsterdam Hagadah. Changes were undertaken in producing this Amsterdam 1712 edition following the first Amsterdam edition (1695). Most significantly, this included the addition of two series of vignettes after the earlier Venetian Hagadah (namely, the various stages of the Seder on f.2r. and the Ten Plagues on f.13r.). The marvelous Hebrew map of the Land of Israel sets North with “Sidon” (today Lebanon) at the extreme left, and South with the Reed Sea at the extreme right. There are many added frills (right to left): Pharaoh riding a crocodile; the 42 encampments of the Israelites in the wilderness; Jonah thrown overboard to quiet the tempest; King Hiram of Tyre’s fleet of rafts wending their way to the port of Jaffa; the eagle’s wings which airlifted the Children of Israel out of Egypt; and finally, the “milk and honey” of the Promised Land.
