The Sarajevo Hagadah is the oldest surviving Sephardic Haggadah extant, originating in Barcelona circa 1350. This facsimile contains considerable information on illuminated Hagadah manuscripts. Indeed, the publication of Mueller and Schlosser’s outstanding study of this extraordinarily rich manuscript “for the first time focused attention on this expression of art among the Jews.” (See A. Marx, Jewish Quarterly Review - New Series (1928) Vol. XIX). Also contains an important article by Prof. David Kaufmann, "Zur Geschichteder Judischen Handschriftenillustration" (On the History of Jewish Manuscript Illustration)
