Review:
The Kittsee Haggadah 1760 (Kehot Publication Society, 2002) is a facsimile edition of a haggadah that was handwritten and illustrated on parchment by a calligrapher, Chaim ben Asher Anshel in the town of Kittsee, near Pressburg, which is now Bratislava, Slovakia. To a contemporary eye, the illustrations appear to be an appealing mix of folk art and elegance; the cover and end papers are printed to look like the original leather cover. Some parts of the text, including instructions for the seder and translations of songs, are in Yiddish. A copy of the original is part of a large collection of rare haggadahs in the Central-Lubavitch Library in Brooklyn, which was established by Rabbi Yosef Y. Schneersohn. In 1924, he purchased a collection of 5,000 rare books, and many more titles have been added since then. Now, there are more than 2000 editions of the haggadah, spanning 450 years, in the collection. --The Jewish Week
