While synagogues and sacred books were rarely decorated, medieval Jews commissioned and created marvelously illustrated haggadot (haggadahs). The pictures in these 14th–16th century books can tell us a lot about how their illustrators and viewers imagined the Biblical story and show us the clothing, buildings, food, celebrations, and humor of their own day.
This presentation examines several of the most beautiful and interesting examples of the illustrated medieval haggadah, comparing the variety of styles, images and artistry among them.
