Israel b. Meir of Heidelberg (ישראל בן מאיר מהיידלברג)
Description
Deutsch: Darmstädter Haggadah
English: An early 15th century manuscript copied around 1430 in square Ashkenazic script. Its decorations contain initial word panels, a few fully framed borders, and two full-page miniatures. The full-page miniature is the adaptation of medieval Christian iconography for the purposes of illustrating the importance of study and discussion in the celebration of the Passover Seder. Every figure (men and women) is holding a book, presumably a Haggadah, and is involved in discussing the Exodus from Egypt. The text on this page begins Psalm 79 verse 6. Original: Darmstadt, Hessische Landes-und Hochschulbibliotek
