<<A MAGNIFICENT HAGADAH OF MEDIEVAL FRANCO-GERMAN ORIGIN. >>
Although the text seems to follow the Spanish rite as is apparent from the Grace after Meals, the instructions appear to follow Aschkenazic custom.
Along the margins of ff. 17-18, appear glosses from one “Hillel” compiling the laws of lulav, in a lighter brown ink than the manuscript itself. It is unclear why these laws would appear in this Hagadah. Final three pages consist of the She’arim of R. Yitzchak of Dura - an index of the laws found in the Sha’arei Dura.
