Hardcover. Condizione: g to near fine. First edition. Small folio (30 by 18.8 cm). Collation: [aleph]-[vav]4 [zayin]2 (= 26 numbered leaves). Full period brown paper boards, re-backed with a brown leather spine, with raised bands. Letterpress title-page with ornate floral woodcut device; additional engraved title-page (mounted) depicting Moses and Aaron, along with six small biblical scenes within round borders, all against an architectural background. Engraved folding map at rear (mounted); main title with woodcut vignette; 14 half-page engraved illustrations in the text. This gorgeously illustrated work is the first edition of the famous and highly influential Passover Haggadah, printed in Amsterdam in 1695. Simply known as the Amsterdam Haggadah, this edition stands as among the most imitated and copied haggadahs in history, and was the first to be illustrated with copperplate engravings. Previous illustrated haggadahs had used woodcuts. The popularity of these illustrations can be attested by the huge numbers of reprint editions over the centuries. There are 14 finely printed large in-text engravings, plus the full page engraved title page showing Moses, Aaron, and Adam in the Garden of Eden. Some of these images illustrate the traditional content of the Passover seder, and/or the exodus story, while some are other biblical stories, less directly related. Images include: the Rabbis of Bene Brak discussing the Passover story, the four sons, Abraham smashing the idols of his father, Abraham welcoming the three angels, Moses slaying the Egyptian overseer, the rescuing Moses from the river, Moses and Aaron coming to Pharaoh (w/ staves turning to snakes), the ten plagues, the Egyptian army drowning in the Red Sea, the Exodus, the receiving of the Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai, the eating of the Pascal Lamb, King David composing his psalms, and finally an exterior view of the Holy Temple with the cityscape of Jerusalem in the background. All images are captioned underneath with relevant passages in Hebrew. The engravings were all created by Abraham ben Jacob, a German convert to Judaism who had moved to Amsterdam, (although some sources over the years misattributed them to financier Moses Wiesel) 6 of which were adaptations and/or modifications of previous images by Swiss artist Matthäus Merian (1593-1650), from his original work "Icones Biblicae" (1625-30). In addition to the in text engravings, there is famously a phenomenal fold-out engraved biblical map of the holy land. Measuring a total of 19.5x11.5", the map shows the land of Israel, the Sinai desert and Egypt in landscape orientation looking eastward towards the top of the map. It traces the journey of the Israelites starting with the Exodus from Egypt, through the desert, and into the Land of Israel. The map is detailed, showing the areas of the twelve tribes, important locations and cities as well as geographic features including the Red Sea, Mount Sinai, the Dead Sea, the Sea of Galilee and many others. The map is decorated with additional illustrations near the bottom and includes a key. This beautiful work, also by Abraham ben Jacob, is considered among the earliest, if not the first map of its kind to be printed within a Hebrew publication. It is now known to have been heavily based on the previously printed 1620 map, in Hebrew, by Jacob ben Abraham Zaddiq and Abraham Goos (1590 - ca. 1643), which itself was based on the map of 1590 by Christian Kruik van Adrichom (Adrichem), printed in Latin. Text throughout is printed in Hebrew, with smaller text in Rashi script underneath, containing famous commentary on the Passover Haggadah by acclaimed Portuguese Rabbi and scholar Isaac ben Judah Abarbanel (1437-1508). The verso of the title page contains the order of the Passover seder with brief instructions in both Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) and Yiddish (Judeo-German), a nod to the subtitle of Haggadah which references the both Ashkenazi and Sephardic traditions. This copy with binding in beautiful condition, with being professio.

Hardcover. Condizione: fair. First edition. Small folio (29 by 18.5 cm). Collation: [aleph]-[vav]4 [zayin]2 (= 26 numbered leaves). Additional engraved title page, engraved folding map at rear; main title with woodcut vignette; 14 half-page engraved illustrations in the text. Contemporary quarter calf over dark brown pastepaper boards (skilfully rebacked). Images of Moses and Aaron at engraved title excised, the seven small engraved vignettes along with letterpress text of engraved title and imprint mounted on old paper.

Stained throughout (sometimes heavily, though not impairing legibility). Map mounted to reinforce tears (with virtually no loss of text or engraved imagery, apart from printed border at right side). A fair copy, at best; despite all defects, the half-page engraved illustrations have survived intact, with minimal staining. Housed in new maroon buckram slipcase. First edition of this gorgeously illustrated work now referred to simply as the Amsterdam Haggadah. The first such work to be illustrated with copperplate engravings, it ranks among the most imitated of the Jewish manuals for the Passover seder. The popularity of these illustrations can be attested by the huge number of reprint editions over the centuries. Fourteen finely printed half-page engravings appear throughout the text. Some of these images illustrate the traditional content of the Passover seder or the Exodus story, while others reference other biblical tales. Images include: the Rabbis of Bene Brak discussing the Passover story, the four sons, Abraham smashing the idols of his father, Abraham welcoming the three angels, Moses slaying the Egyptian overseer, the rescuing Moses from the river, Moses and Aaron coming to Pharaoh (w/ staves turning to snakes), the ten plagues, the Egyptian army drowning in the Red Sea, the Exodus, the receiving of the Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai, the eating of the Pascal Lamb, King David composing his psalms, and finally an exterior view of the Jewish Temple with the cityscape of Jerusalem in the background.

In addition to the in text engravings, there is famously fold-out engraved biblical map of the Holy Land in a notable format. Measuring a total of 19.5 by 11.5", the map shows the land of Israel, the Wilderness of Sinai and Egypt in landscape orientation looking eastward towards the top of the map. It traces the journey of the Israelites starting with the Exodus from Egypt, through the Sinai, and into the Land of Israel. The map is detailed, showing the areas of the twelve tribes, important locations and cities as well as geographic features including the Red Sea, Mount Sinai, the Dead Sea, the Sea of Galilee and many others. Additional illustrations appear near the bottom, along with a legend.

Hardcover. Condizione: g-. Third edition. Quarto. [2] 52 double-sided leaves. Rebacked in modern brown leather spine over original period brown leather boards. Gilt lettering and ruling on the spine. Modern endpapers. Profusely illustrated throughout with copperplate engravings. Includes both an initial illustrated title page with copperplate engravings surrounding the text (Ma'aleh Bet Horin) and a printed title page with decorative woodblock borders and the publisher's device. In addition to the Hebrew text, a few sections throughout are in Judeo-German (Yiddish) printed in Vaybertaytsh script. This third edition of the famous Amsterdam Haggadah, found the work reformatted into a smaller size, and saw the title officially changed to Maleh Beit Horin (meaning "house free men"). Most of the same famous copperplate engravings by Abraham ben Jacob (aka Abraham bar Yaccov), that previously appeared in the 1695 and 1712 editions, are retained here. The two images added to the 1712 second edition are included (the illustrated order of the Seder, and the complete ten plagues), but four of the full series of images included in the first two editions are not present. These missing images are Abraham smashing the idols of his father, Moses receiving the Ten Commandments a Mount Sinai, Moses and Aaron coming to Pharaoh, and the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.* In our copy the engraved title and three other other engravings contain contemporary hand-coloring (the rabbis of Bene Brak, the Four Sons, the angels visiting Abraham). The text of this third edition replaces the complete running commentary from Isaac Abravanel of the earlier editions, with 3 additional text commentaries. These include the "Gevurot Hashem" from the Maharal of Prague (Judah Loew ben Bezalel), writings by Rabbi Moshe Alshich, and "Olelot Ephraim", a collection of ethical homilies by Rabbi Shlomo Ephraim Luntschitz. However Abravanel's commentary is present following Yishtabach through the end of the Seder, and in the initial six-leaf section preceding the text of the Passover seder which discusses the laws of Passover. This copy is lacking the original engraved map of the Holy Land at the rear, as it was originally issued. Binding with some rubbing and abrasions to the original boards and spine. Interior with heaving staining to pages throughout, with text still legible. Biding and interior in in good- condition overall. Hebrew title: ???? ??? ?????, ???? ??? ???? ?? ???
