SCARCE. THE FIRST HAGADAH PREPARED FOR THE JEWS OF BUKHARIA. In the copy recorded by Yudlov the title-page was damaged. The date of publication has been estimated as 1820 as the publisher who is noted on the title-page of this Hagadah, Yaakov Semender, also issued a Selichoth in the year 1820. See Yaari, Siphrei Yehudei Bucharia, in Kiryath Sepher, 1941, p. 388 no. 1. The printer’s device on the title-page is similar to that of other works published in Kopyst. See H.Liberman, Ohel Rachel Vol. II, pp. 30-33
