Manuscript, Passover Haggadah, with instructions, explanations and laws, and other sections in Yiddish. [Amsterdam], 1829.
Written on a premade notebook beginning with a printed engraving (with figures of Moses and Aaron, the giving of the Torah and the Temple). This engraving was prepared for the Torah edition published by R. Naftali Lowenstam son of R. Yaakov Moshe Rabbi of Amsterdam, 1827-1828.
In the center of the title page, over the original text and decoration of the engraving, is mounted a piece of paper with a title page for the Haggadah, "written by Natan son of Yaakov Buchbinder, 1829".
Haggadah text in square script. Laws and instructions in Yiddish in Ashkenazic cursive script.
Before Avadim Hayinu appears the story of the Exodus in Yiddish. A verse-by-verse Yiddish translation is included in Echad Mi Yodea and Chad Gadya. At end of Haggadah, formula for Eruv Tavshilin (in Aramaic) translated into Yiddish.
