summary

A most unusual Hagadah edition. Long believed extinct, the remnant of a Marrano, or crypto-Jewish presence in Northern Portugal, experienced a short-lived revival in the first half of the 20th-century primarily due to the indefatigable efforts of Captain Arturo Carlos de Barros Basto, a decorated military officer and hero of Portugal’s 1910 Revolution, who led the open return to Judaism of the Marranos of Portugal. The present Hagadah was produced expressly for the benefit of this community.

pp. 40. Browned. Front wrapper semi-detached. Original printed wrappers, light wear. 8vo.
