Description		    Reproduction of the Prague-Kohn Haggadah, with a supplement in German.

The original Prague is noteworthy, in addition to its usual fame, for the definition of "Maror" (bitter herbs) as the wife! The haggadah instructs the leader of the seder to point to his wife when he recites the text associated with Maror.
