Created by Sephardi artists and scribes in Catalonia in the 14th century, the "Brother" Haggadah sets out the liturgy and sequence of the Passover Seder. Slipcased and generously formatted at 10 × 13 inches, this exquisitely produced facsimile contains 120 color illustrations, giving a vivid sense of this illuminated manuscript while telling the story of Moses pictorially in an intriguing medieval style. In the introduction, National Jewish Book Award winner Marc Michael Epstein focuses on the historical background of the Passover and iconographic scheme of the manuscript, while Raphael Lowe provides a translation of the poems and additional commentary.
