Scarce Ashkenazic Passover Haggadah.
Complete with a Yiddish translation and notes in Wayber-Taytsch lettering, based on the Berlin Haggadah of 1785. The title page bears the printer's device of Rabbi Zvi Hirsh Segal Spitz and his son Rabbi Avraham (see Ya'ari Hebrew Printers' Marks 158). Zvi in Hebrew and Hirsch in German mean 'stag' - hence the printer's emblem of a stag.
'The illustration of the Seder, which is printed in the middle of the Haggadah, is of interest. the members of the family are dressed in eighteenth-century fashion, and the entire scene has a contemporary flavor' (Yerushalmi).
The last page includes 'Bircat Iruv Tavshilin,' a special prayer for the preparation of food on occasions when the Sabbath follows a holiday (Yom Tov). In such cases, a special Takanat Halacha had to be established, originating in the Mishnah, so that a fire could be lit on a holiday, something not otherwise allowed.
Not found in the National Library of Israel. Three variants were printed the same year. This variant listed in Yudlov's 'Otzar Haggadot' according to a private collection.
First edition, 8vo (19.3 x 12 cm); four woodcut illustrations in text; original decorative paper-covered wooden boards (with some loss to decorative paper), partially detached, spine cracked but holding; leaves slightly stained and soiled, edges rubbed; previous owner's signature to title. Text in Hebrew, Aramaic and Yiddish. 40 ll.
Yaari 265; Yerushalmi 84; Yudlov 382; Vinograd, Offenbbach 132h; Harvard 17:10.5.
