The omissions of human faces or their replacement by animal-heads are found in other Ashkenazi Jewish manuscripts of the 13th and 14th centuries. The original resides in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. The Haggada is richly illustrated by movable pop-ups depicting major scenes such as The Crossing of the Red Sea, The Baking of Matzot, and The Ten Plagues etc. A church edict in Germany in 1215 forced all male Jews to wear pointed hats, also reproduced here. Other images bear animal heads or protuberant noses. The Passover story is told in both Hebrew and English in this beautiful Haggada which is sure to become a family keepsake for young and old.. This Haggada is inspired by the original Bird's Head Haggada which was published in Germany and is one of the oldest Haggadot dating back to the end of the 13th century. Some appear to have been deliberately defaced, or covered with a helmet. The figures are drawn with birds' heads and prominent beaks
"Very Interesting" according to Kindle Customer. My husband collects pop-up books, so I couldn't resist purchasing this Haggada. This is an actual Hagadda with pretty basic pop-ups compared to some produced by "paper engineers" but wonderful non- the -less. The history of this particular Haggada, along with the pop-ups, make this a must for anyone who collect this genre and/or Judaica.. Zev Litenatsky said Hagadah That comes alive. It is well thought out.It is an excellent tool in fullfiliing Vehigadeta LeBincha .The illustrations are excellent & the pop ups exciting for young and old alike.. "Beautiful" according to Theizzy. It is beautiful. adds remarkable beauty and fun.we bought it as a gift and it looks great. enjoy it
