Scarce first edition of the Basel Haggadah in its original publisher's decorative binding.
One of the more attractive Haggadah editions that were published in 19th-century Europe. Its text is a reprint of Joel Brill's German translation of 1785. The magnificent woodcut illustrations of this edition 'were copied from Friedrich Battier's illustrations to a German Bible published in Basel in 1710 by Johann Brandmüller, Jr. The woodcut of Moses at the Burning Bush, shown here on the title page, was taken from the frontispiece of the Amsterdam Haggadah of 1712' (Yerushalmi).
First edition, 4to (21.6 x 17.7 cm); original decorative printed paper boards, with a fine geometric design, edges and spine rubbed, block cracked but holding; 24 woodcut illustrations in text; browning and staining to pages, pp. 3-6 professional restoration to edges, previous owners' inscription and signature in old brown ink to inside covers; text in Hebrew, Aramaic and Yiddish. [2], 54 pp.
