summary

The first of a long and celebrated series of Hagadahs printed in Rödelheim. Heidenheim printed two other issues of the Hagadah in this nascent year. From a perusal through the relevant bibliographies, it would appear this Rödelheim edition is the first Hagadah printed in a rectangular format. Indeed, it might very well be the first Hebrew book entirely, to be printed in such a fashion. The innovation of a rectangular Hagadah served to aid the reader whilst seated at the lavishly set table during the course of the Seder

ff.52. Few light stains. Contemporary salmon boards, some wear, lacking backstrip. Rectangular 16mo
