Seder Haggadah shel Pesach, Pressburg
(now Bratislava, Slovakia), copied and
illustrated by Aaron Wol Herlingen, 1735.
Provenance: In the top escutcheon that was
let empty originally, a later owner added:
This Haggadah belongs to the learned Itsik,
son o Abraham Roe o Lisa (Littau, Czech
Litovel), who lives in the town o Hultschin.
A chronogram in the same hand in the
lower escutcheon is unclear; a ront paper
pastedown and the recto and verso o the
irst lylea contain a detailed amily register
o the Mandowsky amily, who owned the
manuscript or a number o generations, the
dates mentioned ranging rom 1835 until
1935; the estate o Dr. Nahum Goldmann.
Note: This 1735 Haggadah is an unrecorded
manuscript by one o the inest Jewish
calligraphers o the 18th century renaissance
o Hebrew manuscripts. His earliest recorded
manuscript is dated 1720 and his body o
work (last recorded manuscript o 1752)
includes only 40-50 examples. It is notable
that the Haggadah was produced during
Aaron Wol Herlingens stay in Pressburg,
whereas the large majority o his manuscripts
were produced in Vienna.
We wish to thank Dr. Emile Schrijver or his
kind assistance with cataloging the lot.

Seder Haggadah shel Pesach
Contents:
Fol. 1r: title page: Seder Haggadah shel Pesach with nice images, manuactured by the humble Aaron, son o Benjamin Zeev, o blessed memory,
Herlingen, who is commonly called Aaron Schreiber (scribe) o Vienna. I copied and illustrated here, in Pressburg, in the year 1735
Fol. 1v2r: preliminary blessing and symbols o the Seder meal
Fol. 2r2v: Kiddush (sanctiication o the wine) or Passover
Fol. 3r21r: text o the Passover Haggadah
Fol. 21v: blank
Technical Description:
21 unnumbered parchment leaves o average thickness with equalized hair and lesh sides; brown ink in various shades; measurements: 230 x 157mm, 10 lines o standard square script: 76 mm; collation: 1-34 42 + 1 ater 2 54 62; vocalized (Sephardic) square, unvocalized semi-cursive and
(Ashkenazic) Yiddish script in imitation o Amsterdam printed letters; elaborate silver- and gold-tooled reddish brown leather binding measuring 237 x
158 mm, re-backed, one paper lylea at ront (with crude repair) and back and blue paper pastedowns.
Illustrations and Decorative Elements:
The illustrations are all pen-and-ink drawing executed in Aaron Wol Herlingens characteristic graphic style. They are executed with great care and
cratsmanship and generally ollow the iconography o the amous printed Amsterdam Haggadot o 1695 and 1712, which served as a model or most
o the 18th century manuscripts, albeit with a number o signiicant changes
Fol. 1r: architectural title page with Moses and Aaron lanking the title ield
The baroque escutcheons at the top and bottom were originally let empty by the scribe, but were illed in by what is most likely a later owner. His
neat Ashkenazic hand diers decisively rom the scribes elegant hand. Many o Aaron Wol Herlingens manuscripts contain these empty escutcheon,
which has led scholars to believe that he prepared his title pages, or even his manuscripts, in advance, that is beore he had sold it.
Fol. 1v: six miniature images o the symbols o the Seder meal
Fol. 2r: six urther miniature images o the symbols o the Seder mealFol. 3r: rectangular opening word panel Keha (THIS bread o aliction), executed in copper-paint, on a loral background
Fol. 3v: the ive sages in Bene Berak
In the aorementioned printed Amsterdam Haggadot, and subsequently in the large majority o manuscripts o the 18th century that were inspired by
it, the number o sage depicted exceeds ive. The reason or this is that the artist o the Amsterdam images, the proselyte Abraham bar Jacob, took
the images rom Mathaeus Merian the Elders image o the estive meal that Jacob prepared or his brothers in Egypt, which had more attendants.
This manuscript is one o only a handul o 18th century manuscripts in which the artists managed to limit the number o sages to the necessary ive.
Fol. 4r: the Four Sons: the wise son, the wicked son, the simpleton, and the son who is too young to ask
Fol. 4v: Abraham destroying the idols o his ather
Fol. 5r: Abraham and the three angels, with Sarah listening
Fol. 5v: the Exodus rom Egypt
Fol. 6r: Moses slaying the Egyptian and the Israelites perorming slave labor in the background
Fol. 6v: Moses ound in the Nile by Pharaos daughter and her maids
Fol. 7v: ten miniature images o the Ten PlaguesFol. 8r: Moses and Aaron beore Pharao
Commonly this image depicts either the plague o the rogs or the miracle o the rod changing into a snake. Here the artist chose the visit only
Fol. 8v: Pharao and his men drowning in the Red Sea
Fol. 9r: Moses receiving the Tablets o the Law while the Israelites wait at the oot o Mount Sinai
Fol. 11r: opening words Barukh hu u-varukh shemo (blessed is he and blessed His name) o the Grace ater Meals, in the text ink, within a
baroque escutcheon with loral decoration
Fol. 12v: Opening word Sheokh (POUR thy wrath over the nations), within a baroque escutcheon
Fol. 18r: the Temple in Jerusalem
Fol. 18v: six miniature images to the song Echad mi yodea
Fol. 19r: our miniature images to the song Echad mi yodea
Fol. 19v: three miniature images to the song Echad mi yodea
Fol. 20r: ive miniature images to the song Chad gadyaFol. 20v: our miniature images to the song Chad gadya
Fol. 21r: our miniature images to the song Chad gadya
These images to the inal songs o the Haggadah do not appear in the printed Amsterdam Haggadot or in other printed Haggadot o the period, but
they are quite common in 18th century manuscript Haggadot. They are believed to be an invention o the 18th century scribes.
