Detailed
Description		    The Offenbach Haggadah of 1722 represents something of an anomaly. It attempts to reproduce all the Amsterdam illustrations-and yet it does so, not by means of engraved plates, but by the venerable method of woodcuts. Aesthetically the results are a new creation. Precisely because the medium is a different one, and because there is no attempt at an exact "facsimile" copy of the Amsterdam illustrations, the Offenbach Haggadah infuses its models with a different spirit. To modern tastes the primitive woodcuts of Offenbach may well appear more forceful than their Amsterdam prototypes.

Recorded on the title page are the pertinent details concerning the text and printing of the new edition. The Haggadah is accompanied by a scholarly commentary entitled Zera Judah. The book was published by Israel ben Moses (who was also the printer), at the press of a gentile, Bonaventura de la Naye.
