• Haggadah – Passover Seder, with Yiddish translation and illustrations. Sulzbach: Meshulam Zalman son of Aharon [Frankel], 1753.
Illustrated title page, featuring Moses and Aaron on either side, with King David playing the lyre at the top, next to angels, and at the bottom an illustration of Jacob's dream of angels ascending and descending a ladder.
[1], 2-14 leaves. 31.5 cm. Somewhat dark paper. Fair condition; several leaves in fair-poor condition. Stains, including dark food stains. Tears and open tears to title page and other leaves, affecting title frame, illustrations and text, repaired with paper filling. New binding.
Especially rare edition.
Recorded in Otzar HaHaggadot based only on the first three leaves (the copy recorded in the NLI catalogue also contains only the first three leaves). Otzar HaHaggadot records a different pagination ([1], 14 leaves), following M. Weinberg's book on the Sulzbach Hebrew press, but it appears to be in error, the present book being a complete copy.
